Audit

The audit log answers one question: who changed this, and when.

It is for the owner, the admin and the manager. Moderators and viewers cannot open it. A platform administrator reads it across every organization on the installation; everyone else reads only their own organization’s.

What an entry contains

Each entry records one change to one object:

when it happened;
who did it — the person’s email address, or System for work the platform did on its own;
what object — its type and its name at the time;
what kind of change — created, updated or deleted;
what changed, field by field, with the previous value and the new one.

Updates carry the field-level detail. Creations and deletions record that the object appeared or disappeared, with its name.

A change to a list shows what was added and what was removed.

Two actors that are not people

System: Work the platform did without a person asking, such as automatic campaign pausing or creatives arriving from a demand partner. Filter for it by choosing System in the user filter.
Administrator: A change made by the platform operator. When an organization’s own people read the log, platform administrators appear under this name.

Reading the log

Open Audit. Entries are listed newest first, and the default window is the last seven days.

Four filters narrow it:

Period — a date range.
User — one or more employees, or System.
Object type — for example employees, positions, faces, price lists.
Action — created, updated or deleted.

What is recorded

By area:

The organization: Creation; changes to its name, its server type and its legal-entity allowance.
Billing identities: The organization profile, created and every subsequent edit. Legal entities, created, edited, activated and deactivated — and every face attached to or detached from one, by name.
Settings: Organization settings, with before and after values. The organization tariff and auction settings. The connection to the content management system. Demand partner settings and the reissuing of the access token.
People: Employees created; their name and role changed; enabled and disabled. Password changes, as the fact that a password changed. Positions created, renamed and deleted, and every employee added to or removed from one, by name.
Inventory: Faces and their settings, bid settings, schedules and tariffs; activation and deactivation.
Selling: Price lists, floor prices and automated guaranteed price lists.
Trading: Campaigns; moderation requests and each individual verdict recorded against them, so a settled request can be traced back to the position and the person who decided it. Creatives and their reviews. Automated guaranteed campaigns and advertisements. Photo captures.
Reports: Reports created and reports deleted.

How long entries are kept

Audit log entries are kept indefinitely. Because employees are disabled and never deleted, an entry’s author stays resolvable, including for people whose accounts have been disabled.
