Audit Log

Monitor the critical actions of every user under your CommPeak account in the Audit Log: who did what, when, and from where.

The Audit Log shows the CommPeak account owners and admins what every user under their account does in the Portal. It records each critical action: who performed it, when, from which device and IP address, and whether it succeeded. Use it to make sure that only the right people work under your account and to find out who made a specific change.

📘

NOTE

Only the main user (the account owner) and users with the Admin user role can open the Audit Log. To check or change a user's roles, see Users.

Actions the Audit Log records

The Audit Log records three types of actions:

  • Changes: A user created, updated, or deleted a service or a setting, for example, SIP account created, Caller ID added, Email address changed, or Monitoring rule created.
  • Sign-in & security: A user signed in, or another security event took place, for example, Signed in or Social login disconnected.
  • Exports & downloads: A user took data out of the Portal, for example, Invoice downloaded or Proforma invoice exported.

Opening a page or running a report isn't recorded.
