View and download audit logs

As a global administrator, you have full visibility of the changes made in the Global Admin Console. You can search the audit logs across all organizations for actions taken in the last 90 days, when they occurred, and who made them.

  • Audit logs help ensure continued compliance, safeguarding against any inappropriate system access, and auditing suspicious behavior within your organization.
  • The logs available in the Global Admin Console are only for events that a global admin has access to. They don't include any user assignments or user events. Learn more about the different capabilities each console offers.
  • The logs cover events for all organizations in the hierarchy. You can search the logs across all orgs at once.
Note:

As a system administrator on an Adobe Admin Console organization, you can search the Audit Log to audit user assignments or user events.

To view or download your organization's audit logs, do the following:

  • If you have a huge hierarchy with a large number of organizations, you no longer have to wait for the export file to be processed. You can use the reports generated by your fellow admins.
  • You no longer need to keep or save these reports to compare later. The reports are retained for 90 days, you can download these anytime and compare the reports.

Do the following to download your report:
