Viewing who made changes to user profiles
Do you have multiple administrators in your system? If so, you may need to know who made changes to user profiles and what changes they made, to promote accountability or to track where issues originated.
You can use the user profile audit log to track what kind of changes administrators made. The log shows:
- Date - the date the change was made
- User - the administrator who made the change
- IP Address - the IP address from which that administrator made the change
- Details - the type of change made
This feature is an audit log, and not a full audit trail; while it shows you what type of changes were made, it doesn’t show exactly what field was affected, nor does it show original and new values for fields.
To access the log:
- Ensure you have Audit Log - View permission enabled in your user profile.
- Go to Administration > Employees and Organization > Users.
- Click the name of the user whose profile you'd like to audit.
- Click the Audit Log option in the side menu.
The audit log may take a moment to load.
- Filter by date, if desired.
- View the type of changes that were made, and by whom, by date.
