Learn how global administrators view, filter, and export audit logs and reports using the Global Admin Console.

To get started, sign in to the Global Admin Console. Then go to the Insights tab and select Audit Logs to track all changes made across organizations.

View and download audit logs

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

  • Audit logs help ensure continued compliance by safeguarding against inappropriate system access and by auditing suspicious behavior within your organization.
  • The logs available in the Global Admin Console include only events that a global administrator can access. They do not include user assignments or user events. Learn more about the different capabilities each console offers.
  • The logs cover events for all organizations in the hierarchy, allowing you to search audit logs across all organizations at once.
NOTE
As a system administrator in an Adobe Admin Console organization, you can use the Audit Log to review user assignments and user events. Actions performed by system administrators in child organizations of the selected organization are also included in the audit logs. Learn more about how system administrators can track changes made in the Admin Console.

Download export reports

When any global administrator exports organization data from the Global Admin Console, the report is processed and made available under the Insights tab in Export Reports.

All reports generated by any global admin are available in one place. The export reports capability is helpful in the following scenarios:

  • If you have a large hierarchy with many 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, and you can download them at any time to compare reports.

To download an export report:

  1. Sign in to the Global Admin Console and navigate to Insights > Export Reports.

    Reports generated within the last 90 days are displayed. After 90 days, you can generate the report again. Learn how you can generate reports for Organization structure.
