EmpowerID Logs
EmpowerID maintains permanent logs of all activity and transactions that occur in the system. User logins as well as all activity within the EmpowerID system is logged in detail with date, time, initiator, approver, target, and other ancillary information regarding the transaction. Log events are categorized by type and include the following:
Audit Log
You can view these logs in the Web interface by expanding System Logs and clicking Audit Log.
Operation Audit Log – All activity within the EmpowerID system that impacts any protected resource object, such as user accounts, person objects and groups, is logged in detail with date, time, initiator, approver, target, and other ancillary information regarding the transaction.
Attribute Changes – EmpowerID monitors any changes currently taking place within your directories and between EmpowerID and those external directories. Changes detected in external systems can be viewed under Inbound Attribute Changes while any changes occurring within EmpowerID that are being passed to another system can be viewed under Outbound Attribute Changes. Outbound changes are processed by the Directory Change Processor job.
New Objects – The EmpowerID inventory engine monitors all connected systems for changes. One primary type of change detected is the creation of new objects within managed systems, such as Azure Active Directory or SharePoint online.
Membership Changes – EmpowerID's inventory process detects all changes to group membership and logs these changes for reporting and enforcement purposes. Both changes made via EmpowerID workflows as well as changes to group memberships made outside of EmpowerID with native tools are captured and classified by the change source.
Reports
EmpowerID provides over 75 reports out of the box to allow you to view information about the current status of your environment. Each report provides information pertinent to the resource type associated with the report, is searchable and provides links to initiate related workflows or view a specific resource contained in the report. Additionally, each grid in the user interfaces provides an Export button that allows you to download grid information as an Excel sheet.
Reports can be accessed by clicking Reports under System Logs.

Inbox Logs
Account Inbox
EmpowerID flows all new accounts though the Account Inbox, which determines – based on configurable join and provision rules – whether the new account is an account that should be joined to an existing person, an account that needs to have a new person provisioned for it, or an account that should be ignored.

Provisioning (RET) Inbox
The Provisioning (RET) Inbox continuously evaluates Provisioning (RET) policies, comparing those policies to information obtained from connected directories and resource systems. The inbox process determines mismatches between the resources (user accounts, mailboxes, etc.) a person should have (according to the RET policies they receive) and the resources they actually have. If mismatches are present, entries are created in the RET Inbox to record what provisions, de-provisions, or moves are required to rectify these differences. EmpowerID then processes those changes to perform the recommended actions. The RET Inbox can be accessed by expanding Identity Lifecycle and clicking Provisioning (RET) Inbox.
