# About management of access to field-level audit functionality

Last modified February 19, 2026

> To make it possible for users to configure, turn on, and turn off auditing of windows, as well as view audit trails, you enable the Field-level audit functionality and then configure user access to the field-level audit functionality, as described in this article.


## Enabling the field-level audit functionality

To allow the use of field-level auditing in your system, you enable the **Field-level audit** functionality by using the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/index.md) window.

## Managing access to field-level audit functionality

You give users access only to the system objects that they need to accomplish their jobs:

+ To let a user configure, turn on, and turn off auditing of the windows, give the user access to the [Audit (SM205510)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/audit-sm205510/index.md) window.
+ To let a user view the audit trail directly from an audited window, assign the user the **Field-level audit** role.

  When you assign this role to a user,
  the **Audit history** command in the
  **Help** menu on the window title bar becomes available
  to the user.
  The user can open any audited window, select a document created
  by using the window, and click **Audit history** to view
  the audit trail for the selected document.
+ To let a user view the complete audit trail for the window, give the user access to the [Audit history (SM205530)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/audit-history-sm205530/index.md) window.
+ To let a user view the list of forms for which auditing is configured and check whether auditing is turned in for each window, give the user access to the [Audit (SM205520)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/management/management-windows/audit-sm205520/index.md) window.

In Visma Net, you manage access to system objects by using roles.
