The vROps PostgreSQL DB must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.

| Description |
|---|
| Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent or interfere with the auditing of critical events. Suppression of auditing could permit an adversary to evade detection. Misconfigured audits can degrade the system's performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. |
