A little clearer with regards to user1.

Enable Auditing thru user mgr for domains (if in domain, if not just user mgr)

Go to policies/Audit. Select file and object access (success and failure)

Next on the directories you want to audit, (this is similiar to setting permissions)
Rt click on the folder or file/properties/auditing

It's that simple, and yes you can cascade the settings down.
