The audit trail

Admin > Audit (with audit:read, so administrators and owners only) is the read-only audit trail: every privileged action and every sign-in, newest first, each with when it happened, who did it, the action, and the resource. An action taken while impersonating shows the real administrator as the actor, with an as <account> tag naming the principal whose identity they assumed (for example admin as bob), so accountability lands on the human who acted and impersonation never hides them. A read-only user (a viewer) does not see this page: the audit trail is admin-level information, so a plain “read everything” grant does not open it. Failed sign-ins on a real account show as login failed (and a sign-in to a disabled account as login denied), so you can spot a brute-force attempt; attempts on usernames that do not exist are not recorded.

The page uses the same faceted search as the inventory lists: filter by who, action, resource, or id (type a term for a quick actor search, or action:login to pin a facet), and combine chips to narrow. Filtering runs over the rows already loaded; Load older pages further back in time, so a search that comes up short is a cue to load older and look deeper.

The model behind the trail, what is recorded and the dual-actor rule for impersonation, is identity and access and audit.
