The activity log

A tamper-evident trail of who changed access, records and structure — for admins.

An answer to "who did that?"

The activity log records the changes that matter — who was given or removed access, who changed a role, who deleted or restored a record. It's there so you can always answer who did what, and when.

What's recorded

Entries are grouped into categories so one busy area never buries another:

  • Access — members added or removed, role and permission changes, group membership, custom roles.
  • Records — records created, edited, deleted, restored and purged.
  • Structure — projects, locations and the organisation tree.

Each entry shows when it happened, who did it, and a before/after of exactly what changed. A change made through an API key is recorded under the key's name, so machine changes are always distinguishable from human ones.

Who can see it

The activity log is admin-only — it needs the manage people permission. You'll find it at the foot of the navigation rail.

Kept honest

The log is append-only: entries can't be edited or deleted from the app, so the trail can't be quietly rewritten. Entries are retained for at least 180 days.

For a data subject's full record, use the export on their profile (see Data-subject requests) — the activity log is an operational trail, not a personal-data export.
