Audit Non-Sensitive Privilege Use

Audit Non-Sensitive Privilege Use contains events that show usage of non-sensitive privileges. This is the list of non-sensitive privileges:

  • Access Credential Manager as a trusted caller

  • Add workstations to domain

  • Adjust memory quotas for a process

  • Bypass traverse checking

  • Change the system time

  • Change the time zone

  • Create a page file

  • Create global objects

  • Create permanent shared objects

  • Create symbolic links

  • Force shutdown from a remote system

  • Increase a process working set

  • Increase scheduling priority

  • Lock pages in memory

  • Modify an object label

  • Perform volume maintenance tasks

  • Profile single process

  • Profile system performance

  • Remove computer from docking station

  • Shut down the system

  • Synchronize directory service data

This subcategory also contains informational events from filesystem Transaction Manager.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when a non-sensitive privilege is called. Success audits record successful attempts, and failure audits record unsuccessful attempts.

Event volume: Very High.
