Audit Trail
The Audit Trail provides a comprehensive log of user activities and changes in the FAI platform. It records who performed each action, what was changed, and when it happened, offering full transparency and accountability for system events.
Key Benefits
Accountability & Compliance: Maintain a clear record of critical actions for audits and compliance with regulatory and internal standards.
Troubleshooting: Quickly identify changes and responsible users during issue investigations.
Change Tracking: Monitor configuration changes across devices, sites, accounts, and data to detect unauthorized or accidental edits.
Operational Insight: Understand user behavior and verify procedures by reviewing audit logs.
How to Access
Navigate to the Audit Trail page via:
(FAI Menu) Administration > Audit Trail
Who Can Access
Only users with the Account Owner role (or equivalent) can access the full activity log, ensuring sensitive data is restricted to authorized personnel.
