I would like my website to automatically send an email to one or more email addresses every time a Manager or Administrator edits specific (non-user-editable) fields in a user's profile. Ideally I would like the email to include the name of the Manager/Administrator who performed the edit and the values/content of the fields before and after editing. These emails would form an important security paper trail for data auditing. Is this possible with Auto Actions?
Alternatively - an Auto Action that writes a record or log to the database recording the same information.
Thanks,
Phil.

Yes, simply use an Email action and set the Access to "All CB Moderators" then configure the email however you like. You'll want to use the after profile update trigger for profile updates. You could then use conditionals to check if a certain field changed if you only want it sent on a field change (e.g. [cb_myfield] Not Equal To [var3_cb_myfield]).
Alternatively - an Auto Action that writes a record or log to the database recording the same information.
That's also doable. Configured the same as above except using a Query action then insert a row into whatever database table you create to store this data.
Alternatively I believe you could just use CB Profile Update Logger plugin.
