History

The GroupID portal maintains a log of actions when objects are created, modified, and deleted in the portal provided that the GroupID administrator has enabled history tracking for the identity store. GroupID portal also tracks all actions that are committed to the directory using:

  • GroupID Management Shell cmdlets

  • GroupID mobile app

  • GroupID APIs

The administrator can configure the following for history tracking:

  • track all or specific events
  • retain history data forever or for a specified duration

Therefore, history data represents only the events that history-tracking is configured to track. Furthermore, if history-tracking is not enabled or has been recently disabled for the identity store, the portal does not display history data or it displays data that was logged before history-tracking was turned off.

A user can add a note to a history action that he/she performed. Other users can just view that note. This note may explain the reason for performing that action. See the Configure History Tracking topic.
