It offers the following features: • Sign-on, Sign-off, • User: create, update, delete or disable accounts, • Role: create, update, delete or disable accounts, • Resource: create, update, delete or disable accounts, • Password changes, resets, challenge response questions changes, • Synchronization events, • Reconciliation events. Several reporting templates are provided for a BIRT report writer for use in an Eclipse designer. Organizations can also generate their own reports in BIRT with SQL. https://www.openiam.com/products/identity-manager/features/audit-compliance/ Interoperability Saliency: The Audit Service ABB  is salient for technical interoperability because it defines the elements of an information system which need to be traced, for example to assure traceability of user actions as stated in the EIF: "Public administrations should ensure that a 'data access and authorisation plan’ which determines who has access to what data and under what conditions, to ensure privacy. Unauthorised access and security breaches should be monitored and appropriate actions should be taken to prevent any recurrence of breaches" Interoperability Dimension: Structural IoP Viewpoint: Interoperability Security viewpoint Additional identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/AuditApplicationService EIF Layer: TechnicalApplication
