# Configuring Auditing with View Policies

When protocol auditing is enabled globally and required settings are set (including the audit directory name), you can optionally configure additional protocol auditing per view policy. If auditing of a protocol or a given set of protocol operations is enabled globally, it is enabled for all views. If auditing of a protocol or operations is not globally enabled and you enable it in a view policy, then such operations will be audited on any views using that view policy.

To create a new view policy, see [Creating View Policies](/docs-5-5/docs/managing-view-policies#creating-view-policies).

To modify a view policy, see [Modifying View Policies](/docs-5-5/docs/managing-view-policies#modifying-view-policies).
