This quick step-by-step guide will help End Users navigate and utilize the Audit Logs feature within the PowerDMARC portal. Whether you're a Main Admin or Sub Admin, gaining visibility into the actions performed across your account is essential for upholding operational transparency and internal accountability.
What Is the Audit Log Feature?
The Audit Log is a vital component of the PowerDMARC platform that captures a chronological record of user activities within your account. This includes—but is not limited to—login attempts, configuration updates such as changes to SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS, user management operations (e.g., role changes, user additions/removals), policy modifications, and toggling of various features.
By offering detailed tracking of these activities, the Audit Log supports internal compliance efforts, strengthens security oversight, and provides a clear audit trail for any necessary reviews or investigations.
