Audit Log ¶

Prefect Cloud's Organization and Enterprise plans offer enhanced compliance and transparency tools with Audit Log. Audit logs provide a chronological record of activities performed by Prefect Cloud users in your organization, allowing you to monitor detailed Prefect Cloud actions for security and compliance purposes.

Audit logs enable you to identify who took what action, when, and using what resources within your Prefect Cloud organization. In conjunction with appropriate tools and procedures, audit logs can assist in detecting potential security violations and investigating application errors.

Audit logs can be used to identify changes in:

Access to workspaces
User login activity
User API key creation and removal
Workspace creation and removal
Organization member invitations and removal
Service account creation, API key rotation, and removal
Billing payment method for self-serve pricing tiers

See the Prefect Cloud plans to learn more about options for supporting audit logs.

Viewing audit logs¶

Within your organization, select the Audit Log page to view audit logs.

Viewing audit logs for an organization in the Prefect Cloud UI.

Organization admins can view audit logs for:

Organization-level events in Prefect Cloud, such as:
- Inviting a user
- Changing a user’s organization role
- Users logging in or out of Prefect Cloud
- Creating or deleting a service account
Workspace-level events in Prefect Cloud, such as:
- Adding a user to a workspace
- Changing a user’s workspace role
- Creating or deleting a workspace

Admins can filter audit logs on multiple dimensions to restrict the results they see by workspace, user, or event type. Available audit log events are displayed in the Events drop-down menu.

Audit logs may also be filtered by date range. Audit log retention period varies by Prefect Cloud plan. See your organization profile page for the current audit log retention period.
