**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows Server 2016
Audit Token Right Adjusted allows you to audit events generated by adjusting the priveleges of a token.

| Domain Controller | IF | No | IF | No | IF – With Success auditing for this subcategory, you can get information related to changes to the proveleges of a token.<br>However, if you are using an application or system service that dynamically adjusts token privileges, we do not recommend Success auditing because of the high volume of event “[4703](event-4703.md)(S): A user right was adjusted” that may be generated. As of Windows 10, event 4703 is generated by applications or services that dynamically adjust token privileges. An example of such an application is System Center Configuration Manager, which makes WMI queries at recurring intervals and quickly generates a large number of 4703 events (with the WMI activity listed as coming from **svchost.exe**).<br>If one of your applications or services is generating a large number of 4703 events, you might find that your event-management software has filtering logic that can automatically discard the recurring events, which would make it easier to work with Success auditing for this category.<br>This subcategory doesn’t have Failure events, so there is no recommendation to enable Failure auditing for this subcategory. |
