The vROps PostgreSQL DB must generate audit records when security objects are modified.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-239819	VROM-PG-000510	SV-239819r879867_rule		Medium

Description
Changes in the database objects (tables, views, procedures, functions) that record and control permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized changes to the security subsystem could go undetected. The database could be severely compromised or rendered inoperative.
