Audit reports
Last updated 2026-06-08
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
- Reports → Audit.
- Pick a report (e.g. Record access — last 90 days).
- Adjust the date range or actor filter if needed.
- 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
- From any report, apply filters.
- Click Save view.
- 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.
