Audit logging for admin operations
Why you should log who imported what and when (and what succeeded/failed) for compliance and troubleshooting.
Audit logs help you answer simple questions later: who ran the import, what data was included, and what the outcome was.
They’re also the fastest way to troubleshoot tenant permission issues across multiple admins.
Key points
- Record user, timestamp, and tenant context
- Store counts + error summaries
- Keep request IDs for Graph troubleshooting
