How can I track who accessed what files and when?

Does RTC 2.0 keep a history of who has accessed files, and when they have accessed them?

I know you can restrict who has access to a project area, as indicated here, but there are teams working under requirements to log every access that is made to files in their source repository.

If this is not a built in option, is it possible to extend RTC with this behavior, and how difficult would that be?

No such access history is kept.

And would this be at the granularity of individual files (i.e. a
download of 20,000 files would generate 20,000 read access records)?
Note that a large portion of these read access records would come from
the continuous build accounts, especially if builds are set to "delete
existing files before downloading".

Cheers,

Yes you can log each file access, but because of the large number of
possible access records, it's off by default.

To learn how to enable, see the following:

Comment 8 has details on what lines to uncomment to activate
this very verbose logging.
