# Log session audit events

Use a system property to enable creations of session audit events

When the **glide.authenticate.session\_access.log\_audit\_event** system property is set to **true**, session audit events are created in the sys\_session\_access\_audit table. Information logged will include user, session ID \(non-sensitive\), IP address, roles, and policies.

Ensure the that the property **glide.authenticate.session\_access.log\_audit\_event** is set to **true**.

**Important:** The **glide.authenticate.session\_access.log\_audit\_event** system property is specific to Zero trust access. For more information, see [Zero Trust Access \(ZTA\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/session-access.md).
