Audit Privilege Use
You can use the Privilege Use category to track the exercise of user rights. Microsoft uses the terms privilege, right, and permission inconsistently. In this case, privileges refer to the user rights you find in Local Security Policy under Security Settings\Local Policies\User Right Assignment, as Figure 10‑1 shows.
