How to use the Activity Log

Introduction

In this article, you will learn how to view, understand, and filter the Activity Log in NordPass Business. The Activity Log helps owners and admins monitor actions performed by organization members across the Admin Panel and vault, making it easier to track activity and manage security.

 

Before you start

Your visibility depends on your role:

  • Owners can view full details, including item/folder names and types.
  • Admins see only generic activity details.

 

Here's what to do

Open and read the Activity Log

  1. Sign in to the NordPass Business Admin Panel.
  2. Click “Activity Log” on the left-side sidebar.
  3. Review the listed activities, with the most recent actions shown at the top.

 

The Activity Log is displayed in three columns:

  • Member: The organization member who performed the action.
  • Action: The type of action and any related members or items.
  • Activity date: The date and time when the action was performed.

 

Filter the Activity Log by date

  1. Locate the date filter in the “Activity Log”.
  2. Select a date range (up to 90 days).
  3. Click “Show results” to apply the filter.
  4. To remove the filter, select “Clear”.

 

Filter the Activity Log by item ID

  1. Click the Search by item ID filter.
  2. In the dialog box, enter a valid 36-character UUID.
    • Only one item ID can be filtered at a time.
  3. Click Search to apply the filter.

The Activity Log will display all entries related to the specified item ID.

Note: A valid item ID shows all related activities, while an invalid or empty ID displays an error message. If no activities match, a no matching results message appears.

 

Action types

  • App Access: Access to the Admin Panel or NordPass app.
  • Business Account: Authentication and Multi-Factor Authentication activities.
  • Invites: Sending, accepting, or declining organization invites.
  • Member management: Changing member roles and account status.
  • Organization settings: Enabling or disabling organization-wide policies.
  • Integrations: Vanta integration and Activity Logs Token management.
  • Item Access: Creating and using items such as passwords, secure notes, or personal info.
  • Item Sharing: Sharing items, revoking access, or changing ownership or sharing rights.
  • Item Deletion: Deleting items.

 

Additional tips

  • Use the “Reset filters” button to quickly clear all applied filters.
  • You can copy an item ID directly:
    • From “Item view” in the NordPass Extension.
    • From the “Activity Log” in the NordPass Business Admin Panel.
    • Enterprise owners can filter shared folder or shared item activity from the “Sharing Hub”.
  • NordPass Enterprise includes an Activity Logs API integration for advanced monitoring and access management.
