Noothangi,

Turn on the Security Audit Log--transaction SM19.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/2c/c59d37d373243de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm

This will show you logon times, tcodes, reports ect.

It will not show you all changes they make in the system. For specific changes you will need to took at the change log tables for the given tcodes they may be running--if applicable.

Cheers,

Hi noothangi,

Transactions SM18, SM19, SM20 deals with security Audit Log.

SM18

To archieve or delete old audit log files

SM19

you can configure the Static/Dynamic fileters here.

The system administrator or security administrator defines the events you

want to audit in filters. Filters consist of the following information:

. Client

. User

. Auditclass

. Weight of events to audit

The audit class returns information about the following:

. Dialog logon

. RFC/CPIClogon

. Remotefunctioncall(RFC)

. Transaction start

. Reportstart

. User master change

You can specify the weight of events to audit:

. Audit only critical

. Audit important and critical

. Auditallevents

SM20

SM20 to assess the security audit log.

Soppose if you wanted to find out the transaction run by a perticular user in certain period, You can get this information in SU20.
