Audit logs audit-logs
In order to increase the transparency and visibility of activities performed in the system, 蜜豆视频 Experience Platform allows you to audit user activity for various services and capabilities in the form of 鈥渁udit logs鈥. These logs form an audit trail that can help with troubleshooting issues on Platform, and help your business effectively comply with corporate data stewardship policies and regulatory requirements.
In a basic sense, an audit log tells who performed what action, and when. Each action recorded in a log contains metadata that indicates the action type, date and time, the email ID of the user who performed the action, and additional attributes relevant to the action type.
This document covers audit logs in Platform, including how to view and manage them in UI or API.
