For org admins on Coda’s Enterprise plan, the audit events dashboard is a powerful tool designed to help easily monitor and analyze all activity in your organization. This dashboard provides a centralized view of actions users have taken within Coda. Org admins can use this information to identify potential security risks, such as unexpected access attempts, and to help ensure compliance with your organization's policies.

ℹ️ The audit events dashboard is accessible only to org admins on Coda’s Enterprise plan.

Access the audit events dashboard

To view the audit events dashboard, follow these steps:

Go to to coda.io/docs
In the upper left corner, select Admin settings
Search for - or scroll to - the Audit events tab (within the Security section)

Dashboard overview

The dashboard contains key information to help you analyze your organization’s audit logs. Each line in the dashboard represents a unique event. For each event, you can see the following information:

Data & time: This column shows the local date and time the action occurred
User: This column shows the user email ID that performed or is associated with the action
Action: This column shows the action or event that occurred. Some actions have more metadata that can be viewed by hovering over the ℹ️ icon next to the action
Entity: This column provides key details on the entity (doc, folder, group, organization etc) associated with the action
Result: This column indicates whether the action was allowed or denied
IP address: This column provides the IP address associated with the user that performed the action. You can also see the browser user agent information by hovering over the IP address.

Filter audit events

You can analyze specific audit events by using the filters at the top of the dashboard. The following filters are available:

People: To filter the audit events performed by a specific user
Date: To filter the audit events on a specific date or within a date range
Action: To filter the audit events to a specific action that occurred
Search: You can also use the search bar to search for and filter audit events associated with specific entity IDs.

For example, if you want to see the audit trail for a specific doc, paste the docID in the the search bar and hit enter. You should now see all the events associated with that specific doc.

ℹ️ In addition to the audit events dashboard, you can also use Coda’s Admin API to programmatically query audit events, integrate with other tools and export relevant data. Learn more about the Admin API here.

The Admin API offers the most flexibility in terms of integration and can be used to integrated with SIEM systems.
