# Audit Authorization Policy Change


**Applies to**

-   Windows 10

This topic for the IT professional describes the Advanced Security Audit policy setting, **Audit Authorization Policy Change**, which determines whether the operating system generates audit events when specific changes are made to the authorization policy.

Authorization policy changes that can be audited include:

-   Assigning or removing user rights (privileges) such as **SeCreateTokenPrivilege**, except for the system access rights that are audited by using the [Audit Authentication Policy Change](audit-authentication-policy-change.md) subcategory.

-   Changing the Encrypting File System (EFS) policy.
