Track Account Activity with Activity Log
Use the activity log in the Developer Console to view, filter, and download a record of all write actions performed by users on your developer account, including app submissions, in-app item changes, testing activities, and account settings updates.
Overview
The activity log gives administrator users a centralized view of write actions taken on a developer account. You can see who performed an action, what changed, and when it happened. This record helps your team maintain accountability, troubleshoot issues, and meet compliance requirements. Currently, the activity log tracks account settings actions.
Access the activity log
All users with the "administrator" role can access the activity log. Non-administrator users can see the Activity Log tab under Settings but receive an "Access Denied" message when they try to open it.
To open the activity log
- Sign in to the Developer Console.
- Choose My Settings > My Account, then select the Activity Log tab.
The activity log displays all recorded activities in reverse chronological order with pagination.
Understand the activity log view
Each entry in the activity log table includes the following columns.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Actions | A tag for the type of action performed. |
| Details | Details about what changed. |
| User | Name, email address, and role of the user who performed the action. |
| Date and Time | Date and time of the action where the timezone is UTC. For example, Thu Apr 16 18:27:58 UTC 2026. |
The Details column shows the specific changes that a user made. For examples, see Tracked activities reference.
Filter your view
You can use filters to narrow the activity log to specific entries. You can also combine multiple filters to better target the specific logs you want to view. The following table describes the available filters.
| Filter name | Description |
|---|---|
| Date range | A date range for the activities you want to view. Select a start and end date from the calendar. The start date can be up to three months before the current date. |
| Action | Lists all unique action tags that have been performed in the account. All action tags are selected by default. You can select multiple options. |
After you configure your filters, choose Apply Filters to update the view. To return all filters to their default state, choose Clear Filters.
