## How to configure the Audit Trail permission set

To start using Audit Trail you need to configure permission sets in [IAM](/iam/concepts/#iam).

Refer to the [dedicated documentation page](/audit-trail/how-to/configure-audit-trail-permissions/) to find out how.

    <Message type="tip">
     If no events display after you use the filter, try switching the region from the **Region** drop-down, or adjusting your search. Find out how to troubleshoot event issues in our [dedicated documentation](/audit-trail/troubleshooting/cannot-see-events/).
