➡ **Tips from application field** If you configure mappAudit, user roles, and the Audit widget in an Automation Studio 6 project as you remember it from Automation Studio 4, you may face an issue where audit events are not shown. 🤔 **Example of AS4 way of configuration** Users and their roles configuration ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/c/c5b1c556caeabad617b09bab64b374fbd43778ab.png) AuditTrail FUB is enabled, Audit events are recorded ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/a/a16c82c0156a32f6c3759c81ef706685ef2213f9.png) AudtList widget is configured, no error in widget or in logger, but you can not see your audit events 😬 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/e/ede8f8fa89a395a61dcf1e91bf5a881656f91736.png) > The cause, or better to say, the change in Automation Studio 6 is that the AuditList MpLink connection is now done via OPC UA. In order to actually see the entries, you have to make sure the OPC UA user logged in has the role **BR\_Engineer**. **Example from AS6:** Role was added to user(s) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/6/6ceaf5ed8704a5ad1f8ebaca990ac49540b04fca.png) So now, a user with the proper rights can see audit events. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/0/0246cc95deef75ddfd2c3766cae2964ba643c41c.png) Hope this information helps you! 🙂 More info you can find in [AS6 Help](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/6/services%2Fmapp_services%2Fmpaudit%2Fkonzept%2Fanbindung_an_mapp_view.html) ---

Another reason why events may not appear in mappAudit is that the **MpServer library** needs to be added to the project. See [mapp communication](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/6/visualization/mappview/widgets/zusatzliche_information/mapp_kommunikation.html) Unfortunately, this is not mentioned in the Getting Started guide for either MpAuditTrail or the AuditList widget. To add the library, refer to: [Adding library MpServer](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/6/services/mapp_services/mpcodebox/gt/gt1/mpserver_bibliothek_einfugen.html)
