Audit logs offer you the ability to keep tabs on all user activity within your account over the past 30 days. These logs serve as your extra pair of eyes to help ensure account security, monitor user behavior, and maintain a record for compliance.
Reviewing these logs can offer insights into unusual account activity, thus allowing you to take proactive steps to prevent any unauthorized access.
Note that the Audit Logs feature is exclusive to our users on the Pro plan.
