View and Export Audit Logs

Plans: Team and Enterprise Platforms: All platforms


Overview


The Audit log feature provides the organization owner, admins, and custom role members with visibility into all key actions taken across your organization. With powerful filtering, search capabilities, and export functionality, users can analyze events for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and compliance auditing.


You can view logs for up to 180 days in the past, with each event labeled for transparency, including actions taken by former members or through support impersonation.


Custom roles need permission to view audit logs.
