Activity logs
See who did what in your organization. Useful for compliance, debugging access issues, and tracking down changes.
Activity logs record actions across your organization: share links created, settings changed, participants imported, API keys generated. Available to organization admins.
Steps
- Open Settings → Advanced → View activity logs
Activity logs are for organization admins and are aimed at compliance and access reviews. Open Settings → Advanced and click View activity logs. (If you don't see it, your organization may need it enabled, so contact your account team.) The logs page lists events newest first, with filters for actor, project, and event type.
- Filter to what you care about
Click Filter above the table and add one or more conditions (each can match several values at once). Type in a condition's list to search it down before picking:
- Actor: show only actions taken by specific teammates.
- Project: show only activity tied to one or more studies.
- Event type: show only share-link creates, only setting changes, etc.
- Open any row for details
Use the ⋯ menu on a row and choose View log to see the full event payload (the actor, the page or resource, and the raw properties) with a one-click copy for sharing or ticketing. Hover a row's avatar to see the acting teammate's name and email.
What's logged
Events span the actions teams care about: studies published, closed, or deleted; share links created and edited; settings changes; participants imported, invited, or rejected; API keys created or revoked; teammates added or removed; interviews excluded from analysis; and a long tail of page-view events. The Event type filter lists every event type. Open it and search to see what is available for your organization.
Things to know
- The default view is filtered to page-view-only events. Toggle other event types on to see them. The filter helps performance in busy organizations.
- Strella staff actions are excluded from what customers see in the logs. If a Strella team member helped debug something in your org, that won't appear.
- Logs can be deleted org-wide by an admin. This is for GDPR-style data deletion requests; once deleted, history is gone.
- Activity logs and public API request logs are separate records. Activity logs cover the actions listed above. Requests made through the public API are logged separately, and the Activity logs switch does not turn that logging off.
- The activity log is reviewed here, not through the API. Strella's public API does not expose an activity-log feed, so this record is read in the app rather than retrieved through the API. See the API guide on logging and auditing API access.

Media links and who can open them
Photos, videos, and documents in a project are reached by a link that never expires. Some of those links open for anyone; most ask the person to be signed in to the workspace running the study.
