Is it possible to create a user watchlist so I can keep track of any suspicious or anomalous behavior on a user's account?

Hello @vpolius,

Good question. We could benefit from this kind of capabilities too.

I think there is no builtin functionality for this atm. But we could make a custom siem rule which looks for a filtered list of users (related.users is one of ...) in the siem alert indices.

If any alert which contains `related.users` with one of these users, it should trigger an alert. (It won't work with threshold rules though I think)
