Folder Options Report provides an audit of folder options actions across the domain. The report captures folder options changes, who made the change, when it occurred, and the previous and new values along with the path, application method, IP address, and access.
It enables the admins to maintain a historical record of folder setting changes, review security-related configuration updates, generate reports for specific folders or users, and save or schedule recurring reports for ongoing monitoring.
Egnyte purges all audit logs older than 3 months, so you cannot run a new report for data older than 3 months. If you would like to be able to save data older than 3 months, please review the Save or Schedule Audit Reports article.
