Track and Record User Actions

A.

The security technician is configuring an access management system to track and record user actions. This means that the system will be responsible for keeping a record of all actions taken by each user. To accomplish this, the technician must configure the accounting function of the system.

Accounting is the process of tracking and recording user activity within a system. This includes monitoring and logging all user actions, including logins, logouts, file access, and system changes. Accounting can also be used to generate reports and audit trails for compliance and security purposes.

Authorization, on the other hand, is the process of granting or denying access to resources based on a user's identity and privileges. This function determines what resources a user can access and what actions they can perform on those resources.

Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity before granting access to resources. This can include verifying a user's username and password, using biometric authentication, or other methods of authentication.

Identification is the process of identifying a user based on their username, password, or other unique identifier. This is the first step in the authentication process.

In summary, the security technician should configure the accounting function of the access management system to track and record user actions. This will allow for comprehensive monitoring and auditing of user activity within the system.
