Directory privacy audit log reference

This page describes the columns in the directory privacy audit log and explains how to read and export it.

The audit log is available on any member’s detail page under the Privacy audit tab. It records every directory privacy change for that member, whether the member made the change themselves or an admin applied it. To open the audit log, see Audit member directory privacy changes.

Column What it shows
Timestamp The date and time the change was recorded
Change description A plain-language description of what changed, such as “Opted out of directory listing” or “Set Phone to Members only”
Policy version The privacy policy version in effect when the change occurred
Event source How the change was made — for example, “Profile edit” means the member changed it themselves
IP address The IP address of the device used at the time of the change
User agent The browser and operating system used at the time of the change

When an admin made the change on the member’s behalf — for example, after a retroactive bulk apply from the Privacy defaults screen — the row also shows:

Column What it shows
Admin ID The ID of the admin who made the change (actorAdminUserId)
Reason The reason code label the admin selected, such as “Bulk default apply” or “Org policy change”

For the full list of reason codes, see Privacy override reason codes reference.

Select Export CSV on the Privacy audit tab to download the log. Exports of 1,000 rows or fewer download immediately. Larger exports are prepared asynchronously — you’ll receive an email and in-app notification when the file is ready.

If a bulk admin-initiated change needs to be reversed, a rollback is available for 48 hours after the batch runs. Contact your organization’s primary admin to initiate a rollback.
