If multiple attributes for a user are changed as a result of a single provisioning action, then all the attribute changes appear in the same event. User attributes obtained from a provisioning system display in Code42 in the User Profile. The changed attributes that can appear in this event type are:

The Affected user field in the event details is empty in this type of event because the username value is shown in the Old value and New value fields. See Troubleshooting.

ZIP file downloaded

This event means that a ZIP file was downloaded to a device while restoring files to a ZIP file.

Empty values in fields

Empty values in Audit Log fields (shown as — or "unknown") may occur for a number of reasons:

• Initial intake
  In Add user and Local auth only change event types, an empty value for the Username (Code42), IP address (public), and User agent fields may result from the initial intake of users from your Code42 environment into the Audit Log. These fields are left blank because there is no acting user causing the event.

• Provisioning systems
  When an event such as such as an External attributes change is triggered by a provisioning system, the User agent field is empty because there is no endpoint user agent involved in the transaction. If a provisioning system triggers an event, the Username Code42 entry appears as the provisioning provider username credentials from Code42 (for example, "azure_1234@cloud.code42.com").

• Username changes
  In Username change events, the Affected user field is empty because the username value is shown in the Old value and New value fields. 
• User type
  In event details the User type or Employee username fields may display an empty value or "Unknown". This can occur when a new user performs events and the events were recorded before the system could register the new user.

Export limit

The maximum number of events that can be exported from the Audit Log at once is 100,000. To work around this limitation, adjust your filters to reduce the number of events in any given export to be less than 100,000, then complete multiple exports to obtain the entire set of events.
