# User Access Log
### Overview
The **User Access Log** provides detailed tracking of user login and logout activities across all MangoApps platforms. It records the user’s name, profile photo, email/login ID, the platform used for access, the time of login/logout, and the IP address of the device from which the domain was accessed.
By default, the User Access Log is displayed in chronological order, with the most recent login entries shown first.

### FAQs
#### When does the user access log create an entry?
The user access log creates an entry each time a user successfully logs in using their credentials from any platform.
#### How does the user access log behave in different scenarios?
1. **User logs in and logs out on the same day**: The log will show a single entry with the login time, logout time, application, platform, and IP address.
2. **User logs in and logs out on different days**: If a user logs in on one day and logs out on another (e.g., logs in on May 6 and logs out on May 8), the log will show a single entry with the full login and logout information.
3. **User logs in from multiple platforms**: Each platform from which the user logs in will generate a separate entry in the log, detailing the login time, logout time, application, platform, and IP address for that session.
4. **User signs out from all sessions**: When a user signs out from all other sessions except the current one, the log will record the logout time for each logged-out session.
5. **Network admin logs out all users**: When a network admin forces all users to sign out, the log will record the logout time for all users who were logged out by this action.

By utilizing the User Access Log, admins can monitor login patterns and manage security more effectively across the entire domain.
