Use Case Example

Scenario: Detecting Unauthorised Login Attempts

Background: A supervisor wants to ensure that only authorised users are accessing the system.

Using the Login Log Report:

3. The supervisor takes action:
   • Notifies the IT security team for further investigation.

   • Instructs users to update their passwords if suspicious activity is detected.

By using the Login Log Report, the supervisor enhances system security and ensures only authorised personnel access the system.
