Question & Answer
Question
What user should I use to correctly identify file operations that are monitored with FAM (File Access Monitor)?
Cause
User activity is seen monitored under a few operating system (OS) users but the users may not have performed the activity. It is also seen under Application Users.
Answer
Use the Application User Name, not the OS User. The OS user could correspond to the user for an initial session request or could possibly be empty. For File Access Monitoring, use the Application User Name for file activity.
To report on activity, use the Access Domain, SQL Entity and include the Application User Name.
