### What's new {#grc-audit-rn-release__grc-audit-rn-new-features}

[Audit entry fields on GRC objects](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=audit-entry-overview&version=australia&pubname=australia-governance-risk-compliance&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Classify the following GRC objects as third-line audit records using the new audit entry option:

    * Entity
    * Engagement
    * Control objective
    * Control
    * Risk statement
    * Risk

    {#grc-audit-rn-release__ul_w4l_st1_ljc}

    Control visibility with role-based access so that only users with the sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager role can view audit entry (third-line) records. The Audit entry option is selected by default
    when the third-line manager creates a record and is set to read-only after the record is saved.  
    Note:  
    An administrator must manually assign the sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager role to a user to use this feature.
