Audit Logs
Export a timeline of material actions performed by your organization.
Admins of teams with an Organization or Enterprise plan can export a CSV audit log of material events that occurred in the team over a specified time frame.
Export your audit log data in the Render Dashboard from the Audit Logs section of your Workspace Settings page:
Availability of audit log data
- Render begins retaining audit log data for your team as soon as you upgrade to an Organization or Enterprise plan.
- Event data from prior to upgrading is not available.
- If your Organization or Enterprise plan started before June 24, 2024, audit log data is available from that date onward.
- Whenever Render adds a new audit log event type, tracking for that event begins on the date of the event’s introduction.
