Description

Action

 

N/A

 

Name of the action. An action can include user logins, user maintenance actions, DLP maintenance actions, or any number of actions performed on a MOVEit server or the Report Server, depending on the template.

Note: The User Maintenance template contains only actions taken to manage other users (or actions that are initiated by MOVEit Automation and affect user provisioning or settings). The DLP Maintenance templates include only DLP maintenance actions.

Each source system (MOVEit Transfer, MOVEit Automation and Ipswitch Analytics server) has a different set of actions, although some actions are common to all source systems. Some values correspond to a single action (such as login or change password) while other values may contain a variety of actions (such as Change System Setting), with detailed information about the action included in the Details field.

MOVEit Automation Actions:
Includes only actions that are initiated by a user (or are initiated by MOVEit Automation and affect user provisioning or settings). Most tasks (workflows) occur within the context of a Windows service and are not associated with a user. File operations are executed only in the context of a task run and are not initiated by a user, therefore file operations do not display in User Audit reports. Possible MOVEit Automation Actions include:

  • User Access:
    • Login / Logout
