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.

[SCREENSHOT: reports-audit-record-access] Reports → Audit, Record access report with a 90-day window and one user filtered.

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.
