Usage Reports

Overview

The usage reports on the platform are designed to make it easy for you to monitor the usage of pam within your organisation. If you’re a pam Administrator, you can use usage reports to gain information on the following points:

  • Organisation items – export a list of Projects, Accounts, Alliances or Groups and see who is responsible for them, how many team members they have and when they were last updated.
  • User overview – view a list of users that have been active in a time period selected by you, and see a basic overview of their activity on the platform.
  • Activity by module – see a more comprehensive list of user activity with work divided into modules.
  • Activity by tool – see a more comprehensive list of user activity with work divided into tools.
  • Logins – see the total amount of logins at your organisation over a time span of your choice.
