Activity

Read your organization's audit trail to see who did what, to what and when, including actions Nuvelics staff performed in your organization.

Activity is your organization's audit trail: a record of who did what, to what, and when. Use it to answer "who changed this?", to review what your team has done, and to see what anyone, including Nuvelics staff acting in your organization, did on your behalf. Events are written when the action happens and are never edited afterwards.

Only owners and admins (the audit:read permission) can see it. For a Member or Viewer the item is missing from the sidebar, and opening the address sends you back to the Dashboard. It sits under Organization in the sidebar. See Roles and permissions.

Find an event

  1. Open Activity. It shows the last 30 days to begin with. Each row shows the Action, the Actor, the Target and When it happened.
  2. Choose a date range from Last hour, Last 6 hours, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 30 days or a Custom range with From and To. Older activity needs a wider range: an empty page says No activity in this period.
  3. To find one kind of action, type its name in Search by action…, for example datasource.deleted. Actions are named for the thing and what was done to it, in the past tense, and the search matches the whole name.
  4. Choose Clear filters when nothing matches, and Load more for older rows.

The Actor is a person or API key by name, or an agent or the system shown by kind and ID. A Target names what the action happened to, such as a user, member, data source, credential, API key, invitation, newsdesk, pitch, story, an NRCS or CMS connection or your SOM configuration; where the item has a name it is shown, otherwise its type and a short ID.

Two badges can appear under an actor:

  • On behalf of a person: the action was carried out for that person by someone or something else, such as an agent they authorized.
  • Impersonating your organization: a member of Nuvelics staff performed the action while working in your organization. The badge names your organization and, where recorded, the role they acted as, such as "Impersonating Your Newsroom as admin". These events stay in your trail like any other.

Read one event

Choose an action to open it. The page shows the Actor, the Action, the Target and When, and, where they apply:

  • On behalf of, when someone acted for someone else.
  • Impersonating staff, Impersonating org and Impersonating role, who from Nuvelics acted in your organization and as which role, with the Impersonation reason they recorded.
  • Reason and Channel, when the action recorded them.
  • Changes, each changed field as "before → after". Not every action records field changes; an event without them says "This event recorded no field changes." and that is normal.

Choose Back to Activity to return to the list.
