Logging for Users

User creation, modification, and removal are tracked in the Settings Changes Logs. Logging happens regardless of the interface used, whether CLI, web interface, or one of our supported SDKs. The Settings Changes logs let you trace the history of a user account, specifically what was done to that account. For information about what a user account did, see the History logs.

At User Creation

Creating a new user is logged in the Settings Changes logs. Beyond the standard log fields of the date and the user making the change, the only information logged at the time of creation is the new user's username.

When Users Are Edited

Updating a user's settings appears in the Settings Changes logs. As soon as you save the change to a setting, it is added to the log. In addition to the standard log fields of the date and the user making the change, each log entry includes the username of the user that was edited, the setting that changed, and both the original and the new value of that setting.

When Users Are Removed

Deleting a user is logged in the Settings Changes logs. Beyond the standard log fields of the date and the user making the change, the only information logged at the time of deletion is the deleted user's username.

What Is Not Logged

Associating a user account with group memberships, API keys, SSH keys, or folder permissions is not recorded in the Settings Changes logs, because these actions do not modify the user account's own settings.
