Vault account activity report results

Because users can be granted separate access to use and check out accounts, the Vault Account Activity Report distinguishes between the two. This allows administrators to tell the difference between a user who is able to view the account's password and a user who is only able to inject credentials in a session.

In the Vault Account Activity Report, the Data column shows information associated with the event. The Credentials Checked Out event contains a Details link in the new Data column when credentials are checked out while in a session. This link redirects to the Support Session Detail Report in which the credentials were used.

ℹ️

Note

If the credentials are checked out from /login, then no Details link is present in the Data column.
