How to Monitor User Permissions on Linux Servers With SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor

Understanding who has permissions to what and how those permissions levels change over time is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to protecting sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. However, this can be a difficult task when dealing with permissions on Linux servers and files. In this video, we'll show you how you can see who has access on your Linux servers, monitor and alert on changes to those permissions, and track the changes over time for auditing purposes.

In modern IT environments, making configuration changes is easy, but tracking them and their impact is hard. Even with the best change control processes, it’s often impossible to control all the configuration changes happening to your infrastructure. And when configurations start to drift, the problems start—outages, slowdowns, security breaches, and compliance violations. SolarWinds® Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) is designed to
quickly reveal when server, application, or database configurations change, who’s changing them, what changed, and performance impact—helping you have the necessary visibility to troubleshoot faster, improve security, and demonstrate compliance.
