That was the largest in a long time for several reasons.  Good topic.
Large group at the meeting.  Active discussion.  Good friends.  And a

Once complete, the administrator can easily validate access to systems, confirm elevated privileges and audit what users do with elevated privileges, thereby delivering data and system security, and regulatory compliance.
