Log and Track Magento Admin User Actions performed in the backend administration

Tracking Admin Actions in Magento back administration is a vital to increase productivity. It also provides a trustworthy Security Layer so you can act before an Admin User Account or sensitive information are compromised.

Our Admin Logger provides simplicity in User Actions Tracking and Logging, easing the Magento 2 management process.


Track And Filter Every Action

The extension creates an admin action log for pages which each admin account has visited and can track admin actions they perform, including what values have been entered.

The Admin Logger extension logs all admin users actions, such as:

  • Changing user information
  • Creating or updating product
  • Monitoring other admin's actions

Backend action logs serve as a powerful tool for debugging and rolling back specific changes manually rather than restoring a site based on a backup losing desired updates in the process.

The Admin Log extension also logs changes such as when an admin account updates a product or changes configurations. Using the extension you can discover what was changed.


Manage your admin users

Our extension provides a detailed admin log history and advanced setting to save or remove history logs.

Besides the general grid, the store manager can view detailed information for each admin action performed by the admin user.
