Advanced Audit features within Microsoft 365 are designed to track and log various user and administrative activities, including specific actions taken within mailboxes. This capability includes monitoring interactions with mailbox contents, such as when users search for items in their mailboxes through Outlook on the web.
When Advanced Audit is enabled, it records detailed logging of user activities which can provide insights into user behavior in terms of searching, accessing, and interacting with email data. Thus, if a user utilizes the search function in Outlook on the web, this action can typically be tracked through the audit logs.
This capability is significant for organizations looking to enhance security and maintain compliance, as it helps ensure that users are operating within established policies and can assist in identifying any unauthorized or suspicious activity. Being able to monitor such actions also plays a crucial role in investigations or audits, facilitating a better understanding of user interactions with data in a secure environment.
