Admin Tools: Security Log

Overview

The Security Log in CustomBooks™ provides a detailed audit trail of all changes to the users and user profiles within an account. It allows administrators and authorized users to see who made the changes, what was changed, and when the activity occurred.

Security Logs track updates made to both users and user profiles, helping ensure transparency and data integrity across your organization.

What is the Security Log?

The Security Log is a system-generated history of user actions. It records important activities such as:
  1. Creating, editing, or deleting user records.
  2. Updating user profiles or permissions.
Each entry shows exactly which user performed the action and which record was affected.



How to Access the Security Log

  1. Navigate to Admin Panel
  2. Click Security Log
