6. Audit Log Tab
The Audit Log tab in the miniOrange Automated User Management Plugin is designed to give administrators full visibility and traceability into all actions performed through the plugin. This is essential for compliance, security, and internal accountability.
It captures a detailed timeline of what action was taken, when, by whom, and on which user or group—ensuring a complete audit trail of user-related administrative activities.
Key Features
View Audit Logs
To access the audit log, go to the “ Audit Log" option from the MINIORANGE USER MANAGEMENT section in the left sidebar.
Each entry in the log includes the following details:
-
Username – Who performed the action
-
Date – When the action was performed
-
IP Address – From where the action was triggered
-
Action – What kind of operation was executed (e.g., Deactivate User, Add to Group)
-
Status – Whether the action was successful or failed
-
Description – Additional details about the action (e.g., user’s group or directory)
Export Logs to CSV
You can export logs as a .CSV file by applying filters such as action type or date range. This is helpful for sharing data with compliance teams or for long-term record-keeping.
Auto Delete Audit Logs
Enable the "Auto Delete Audit Logs" option to automatically purge logs after a specified number of days. This helps keep your logs manageable and ensures that sensitive data doesn’t persist indefinitely unless required.
You can set the number of days in the Days input field, after which all logs older than the specified duration will be removed automatically.
Filter Logs by Action Type
You can filter log records based on the following actions:
-
User Deactivated
-
User Activated
-
User Deleted
-
Removed from Group
-
Added to Group
-
Imported Users
-
Scheduler Enabled / Disabled
-
Group Created / Deleted
-
Delete Logs Scheduler Enabled / Disabled
