access rights for audit history

@larryly is your previous responding confirming that the only way to access the Tools>Audit History is to use the predefined “Field-Level Audit” role? Is there no way to edit Access Rights by Role/Screen to enable this access?

Hello,

I hope this helps for future inquiries of this kind, I found an easy way to find that Field Level Audit Role’s access rights. 

However, granting access to a new role with the same rights does not allow field level audit, that would more than likely be a back-end trigger that is built in with the Out of Box field level audit role. 

Here is the step I took to successfully view the rights of that role, perhaps this information can be useful for future (this is basically expanding further on Kandy’s answer)

1. Select the role in “Access Right by Role” Screen, and then click the top level node. Scroll through the list (or try filtering) until you find any role OTHER than ‘not set’
    

   

2. Once that is found, click on the node for that in the tree on the left, and filter (or scroll) until again, you find anything other than ‘not set’. Seen here it shows “help” is granted, however the node above said “Multiple Rights”. I am not seeing any other access right other than this one for help which is granted. This leads me to believe that the access to field level audit role is not listed in the tree, and cannot be controlled by any other role. 

   

One thing that you can test even further, is to use the “copy Role” function.

Perhaps that can give access to control a copy of that role, and maybe it will automatically pull the access we do not see, but that definitely would need to be tested for confirmation if a copy of field level access role can be modified/used for the same purpose as the built in one.
