System - 11.9 - Audit logs

The audit log records all actions which occur on the firefly instrument, real or simulated. It can be used to support compliance activities, as it includes failed actions e.g., login, which may be of concern, as all events are time and date stamped, and show the logged in user.

By default, viewing the audit log is an administrator permission, but other groups i.e., QA could be set up with permission to view it.
