Security Logs Report

Your Security Logs keep track of changes made to settings in your Admin Console. Run a Security Logs report to see what settings have been changed within a given time period, and who made said changes. This report can be useful for monitoring the actions of a Co-Admin or multiple administrators, as well as keeping track of your enterprise settings. You must define filters for the Security Logs report and select at least one Action Type (event) before you can run it. See Security Logs Report Filters and Security Logs Report Action Types for more information.
