This section provides an overview on how to use the Sessions interface. It describes how you can access the Sessions interface, lists the steps to take to search effectively, view the details of a connection, replay the audit trails, or export the search results as a comma-separated text file.

Prerequisites

Users need the Search privilege to access the Sessions interface.

NOTE: Assigning the Search privilege to a user on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, automatically enables the Search in all connections privilege, and grants the user access to every audit trail, even if the user is not a member of the groups listed in the Access Control option of the particular connection policy.

If you want users to access audit trails only for connections for which they are granted permission, see Assigning search privilegesAssigning search privileges in the Administration Guide.
