Viewing Organization Activity History
The Audit Log is a complete, tamper-evident record of every significant action taken in your workspace — who did what, and when. It is essential for accountability, compliance, and troubleshooting unexpected changes.
What is recorded in the audit log?
Varai Sprints records an entry whenever someone performs a meaningful action. Examples include:
| Action type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Authentication | User signed in, signed out, failed login attempt |
| User management | Member invited, role changed, member removed |
| Workspace changes | Workspace created, settings updated, archived |
| Releases & Sprints | Release created, sprint started, sprint completed |
| Tasks & Issues | Task created, status changed, deleted, assigned |
| Comments | Comment added, comment deleted |
| Attachments | File uploaded, file deleted |
| Settings | Organization settings changed, holiday added |
| API keys | API key created, revoked |
Who can view audit logs?
Only workspace Admins can access the full audit log. Regular members cannot see the audit history.
Opening the audit log
- In the left sidebar, click Audit Logs.
The audit log opens showing the most recent events.
Reading audit log entries
Each log entry shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | Date and time when the action occurred |
| Actor | Who performed the action (name and email) |
| Action | What was done (e.g., "Updated task status") |
| Entity | What was acted on (e.g., "Task: Fix login button") |
| Details | Additional context — often shows what changed (old value → new value) |
| IP address | The IP address from which the action was performed |
Filtering the audit log
Use the filters at the top to find specific events:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Date range | Today, last 7 days, last 30 days, custom range |
| Actor | Filter by a specific user |
| Action type | Filter by category (auth, tasks, settings, etc.) |
| Entity type | Show only changes to tasks, only sprint events, etc. |
| Search | Free-text search across action descriptions |
Drilling into an event
Click any log entry to expand it and see the full details:
- The complete change record (e.g., "Status changed from In Progress to Done")
- The full metadata captured at the time of the action
- The device/browser information (when available)
Exporting audit logs
For compliance or archiving purposes, you can export the audit log:
- Apply your filters to show the events you need.
- Click Export → CSV.
- The file downloads with all matching entries.
Audit log exports are useful for storing in your own systems if you need longer retention periods. Varai Sprints stores audit logs for 2 years within the application.
Common uses for audit logs
"Who deleted that task?" Filter by Action Type = "Deleted" and Entity Type = "Task". Find the entry for your task and see who deleted it and when.
"Did someone change the sprint dates?" Filter by Entity Type = "Sprint" and the sprint in question. Look for "Sprint updated" entries.
"When was this user added to the workspace?" Filter by Actor = the user, or filter by Action Type = "Member invited". Find the entry showing when they were added.
Security review: Filter by Action Type = "Authentication" to see all sign-in and sign-out activity, including failed login attempts.
