Audit trail

Post by mjohns26 » Tue Jun 28, 2011 8:10 pm

My I T Security department is trying to to better understand the login architecture and audit capabilities of Audacity.
Because our PC's are encrypted, I T needs to know the following.
1. Does Audacity require an unique user ID to log onto the application?
2. Does Audacity have an audit trail?
Can anyone offer me any direction concerning the above questions?

No. Once the user is logged into the operating system they can launch Audacity even if they are not administrators.

1.3 Beta has Help > Show Log but it only persists while the session is open.

I've removed your e-mail address from your post. it is not a good idea to post that on a public Forum.
