Auditing activity in your enterprise

You can audit the activity of the managed users in your enterprise, viewing information about what actions were performed, by which user, and when they took place.

Enterprise owners can access the audit log.

To manage users in your enterprise with your identity provider, your enterprise must be enabled for Enterprise Managed Users, which are available with GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see "About Enterprise Managed Users."

About the audit log

  • The organization an action was performed in
  • The user who performed the action
  • Which repository an action was performed in
  • The action that was performed
  • Which country the action took place in
  • The date and time the action occurred
