Act 5: Growth & Governance

24. Audit Trail

Story

Leadership asks for accountability on critical changes, and Sarah opens the audit trail for full traceability.

From permission updates to payroll edits, she can identify actor, timestamp, and before/after values in one place.

Happy Path

Audit coverage works automatically across critical mutations, giving admins immediate confidence in traceability and accountability during reviews.

  • Every change is logged automatically
  • Audit includes actor, action, module, timestamp, and before/after snapshot
  • Admins filter logs by date, module, and action
