Activity
What has happened recently in the places you administer: who did it, to whom, and when.
Overview
Administration leaves a trail. Roles given, changed, and removed; invitations sent, resent, revoked, and accepted. Those seven things are what the log records, and they are the seven things administrators do to each other's work, so the feed reads as a history rather than as noise.
Reading activity is its own capability. An administrator can be able to change things without being able to review what others changed, and the other way round.
What an entry shows
Each entry records the action and its participants.
Narrowed to your responsibility
The log is filtered to your part of the organization before you see it, not after. Two administrators reading activity in the same account read different lists, and neither is missing anything they are entitled to. It is also deliberately not the whole audit trail: technical changes, and the granting of authority to administrators themselves, are recorded account-wide under a different capability that is not reached from here.
How long it is kept, and taking it with you
Activity is kept for a fixed period, and the page tells you what that period is for your account. Anything older is gone rather than hidden, so an export is the way to keep a copy.
An export covers the most recent events up to a limit. If the file is truncated, narrow the dates and export again rather than assuming the rest is missing.
