Logging and Audit Capabilities in Identity Panel

Identity Panel provides detailed logging for every change made to an identity record. This includes critical metadata that allows organizations to understand the full context and impact of each change:

• Timestamp of initiation and completion

• Initiator of the change (person or system)

• Performer of the change (who actually made the change)

• Exact attribute changes (before and after values)

• Change reference or request number

These details are captured automatically and made visible through Identity Panel’s Time Traveler feature, which offers a historical view of identity attributes across all systems. This empowers administrators and auditors to trace any identity-related event with precision​.

Retention-Aware Audit Access

To support compliance with international data retention laws, Identity Panel allows organizations to configure retention policies that align with legal requirements in each country. These policies control how long identity and audit data are kept in the system.

Customers can define retention settings for:

• Identity data (such as user profiles or access entitlements)

• Deleted objects

• Operational run history

• Requests and approvals

These settings are fully configurable and enforce retention across all data types, including logs, identity snapshots, and workflow outcomes​.

Automated Purging Based on Retention Laws

In version 8 and higher, Identity Panel includes automated purging functionality. This ensures that audit data is deleted in accordance with each organization's legal obligations, without requiring manual intervention. The system automatically removes expired data while maintaining a complete and compliant audit trail for active records​.

By providing detailed logging, audit-friendly access, and automated data retention enforcement, Identity Panel helps organizations demonstrate compliance, respond confidently to audits, and reduce regulatory risk.
