Through Egnyte’s Web UI, you can run a host of reports and audits to help you track changes, gather essential information, or understand and manage your risk. General reports are available to Admin Users, and Power Users who also have the role can run reports, while audit reports are only available on domains that have purchased this feature.
Audit Reports are not available on the Team Plan.
Power Users can be set up with one of two role options:
- On all files and folders: Can select all folders in Shared even if they do not have permission to view it.
- On files and folders they have access to: Must have Viewer permissions or higher to pull a report on the selected folder. Users without this permission will receive an error message.

Audit trail activity older than three months will be purged automatically. This means you will not see activities beyond three months at any time in your audit report. We recommend running reports frequently and exporting or archiving them to avoid losing important data. You can also schedule audit reports to run on a set schedule to save time.
