## At a glance

- **Who uses it:** Admins running periodic FERPA reviews and security teams investigating activity.
- **When to use it:** Quarterly access reviews, after a parent complaint, during an annual compliance check.
- **Permissions required:** School admin or district admin.
- **Navigation path:** Administration → Audit log (raw log) and Reports → Audit (saved views).

## Purpose

Audit reports turn the raw audit log into pre-built views designed for compliance work — access reviews, FERPA disclosures, sign-in anomaly checks — instead of free-form searching.

## Built-in reports

- **Sign-in activity** — successful and failed sign-ins by user, with IP and user agent.
- **Role changes** — every grant or revoke of a role over a chosen window.
- **Record access** — student record views and exports per user.
- **Exports** — every FERPA dossier export with actor, target student, and timestamp.
- **Imports** — every CSV import batch with row counts and outcomes.

## Step-by-step

### Run a saved report

1. **Reports → Audit**.
2. Pick a report (e.g. **Record access — last 90 days**).
3. Adjust the date range or actor filter if needed.
4. Click **Run**.

### Export

Click **Export CSV** from the report toolbar. Up to 10,000 rows per export — narrow your filter if needed.

### Save your own view

1. From any report, apply filters.
2. Click **Save view**.
3. Give it a name. The view is visible to other admins at your school (or district, if you are a district admin).

## Tips & best practices

- Schedule a recurring **Role changes** review every quarter — this is the highest-signal audit for FERPA access.
- Save a per-school **Exports** view that captures all FERPA dossier generations in the last 30 days.
