You can find out what configuration changes were made on the system, who made them,
when, and on which entity settings (before and after values), using the Audit
trails report.
What you should know
The Audit trails report is helpful if you see that the properties of an entity have changed
and you must find out who made those changes and when (for example, if the recording mode of
a camera has been modified). Also, if you requested an update for an entity (for example,
the privileges for a user), you can check to see if the changes have been made from Config
Tool.
