    New in the Australia release

    Audit entry fields on GRC objects
    Classify the following GRC objects as third-line audit records using the new audit entry option:
    • Entity
    • Engagement
    • Control objective
    • Control
    • Risk statement
    • Risk

    Control visibility with role-based access so that only users with the sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager role can view audit entry (third-line) records. The Audit entry option is selected by default when the third-line manager creates a record and is set to read-only after the record is saved.

    Note:
    An administrator must manually assign the sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager role to a user to use this feature.
