The auditing framework allows the system to capture historical information of who did what that caused changes in the Windchill database. The security auditing feature also provides a mechanism to retain historical records of security related events, such as privilege changes, team changes, and denial of access. Security audit reporting is helpful in highly regulated industries where it is necessary to identify events that may have resulted in a potential security breach.

Out-of-the-box, only the Organization Usage events are enabled. Any other specific events that you want captured must be individually enabled by the site administrator.
