How do I view login and logout activity for a user in an account?
Within Admin Tools, admins can view the login/logout activity of users within their institution. Log activity is organized by date with the most recent activity at the top of the list.
Notes:
- Canvas will only register a user’s logout when the Logout button is clicked in the User Account menu. Closing the browser window does not create a logout request.
- Logging activity will only show activity that took place within the past year.
- Login and logout activity in Admin Tools cannot be viewed by sub-account admins.
