AUDIT
Function
Performs an audit one a single user or container.
AUDIT OPTIONS enables the administrator to include or exclude read only items from the audit reports. Single audits always include read only items.
The List Directory also enables you to audit a single user or container. The AUDIT command can be used against containers which are not listed in the Directory.
Items deleted since the last audit will be permanently deleted. If necessary, items can be undeleted before submitting the AUDIT command. Expired items will be tagged for deletion on the next audit. Set the container's expiry date to Never, if necessary.
An audit will only be run on the specified container, not on any subcontainers.
Before the AUDIT command is submitted ensure the container is closed. The server console will indicate if the container is opened. Collaborate > Approve will prevent users from opening a container.
