VN-05 · Auditor Access & Exports

Status: Delivered Roles needed: Tenant admin (to grant an auditor session), auditor

What the client asked for

"Auditor access in Phase 1 must include time-boxed read-only access, full read-action audit, CSV export metadata and hashes, PDF watermarking, and PII/PHI redaction."

What this proves

An auditor's access is time-boxed and read-only; everything they read is itself audited; exports carry integrity hashes and watermarks; and sensitive PII/PHI is redacted from what they see and export.

How it works (at a glance)

Where to look in the portal

  • Console header auditor access window indicator (countdown)
  • Compliance Evidence then export controls
  • Audit

Validation walkthrough

#ActionWhat you should see
1As tenant admin, grant a time-boxed auditor sessionThe session has an explicit expiry
2Log in as auditorThe console header shows an access-window countdown; mutation controls are absent everywhere
3Open evidence / recordsSensitive PII/PHI fields are redacted in the view
4Request a CSV exportThe export completes with associated metadata and an integrity hash
5Request a PDF exportThe PDF is watermarked
6Open AuditYour read actions and the export request are recorded
7Let the session window approach expiryThe countdown reflects the remaining time; after expiry, auditor access is no longer granted
8Attempt any change as auditorNo mutation controls are available

Pass / fail checklist

  • Auditor access is time-boxed with a visible countdown
  • Auditor sees no mutation controls anywhere
  • PII/PHI is redacted in auditor views
  • CSV export includes integrity hash / metadata
  • PDF export is watermarked
  • Auditor read actions and export requests appear in Audit
  • Access ends at the session window expiry
  • Auditor of one tenant cannot read another tenant's evidence

Intentionally not in Phase 1

  • Background export workers and long-term artifact storage in object storage with signed download URLs. Phase 1 produces the redacted, hashed, watermarked export and records the request.
  • A tenant-facing editor for redaction policy rules.

Evidence to capture

  • Screenshot of the auditor access-window countdown.
  • Screenshot of a redacted evidence view.
  • The exported CSV (showing hash/metadata) and the watermarked PDF.
  • Screenshot of the read-action audit entries.
