About this tag
The object access tag covers Windows security auditing related to file system and object access events. Discussions focus on configuring Audit Object Access policies via Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) or Advanced Audit Policy Configuration, enabling success and failure auditing, and troubleshooting missing Event ID 4663 logs. Common steps include setting audit policies under Windows Settings > Security Settings, applying changes with gpupdate /force, and verifying events in Event Viewer. Users report issues where object access events are not generated despite correct policy configuration, often requiring checks on SACL settings and folder-level auditing. The tag is relevant for IT administrators managing file server security and compliance monitoring.
