# Logged activities

Sitecore Common Audit Log records user activities as they occur in [supported](https://doc.sitecore.com/portal/en/developers/sitecore-cloud-portal/sitecore-common-audit-log/sitecore-common-audit-log.html#UUID-585a4a55-4d0b-365d-3676-2718068a18df_section-idm4561627378204834076689431335 "Supported Sitecore DXP applications") Sitecore digital experience platform (DXP) applications. Every audit log includes:

- What activity occurred.
- When the activity occurred and in which Sitecore DXP app.
- Which user performed the activity.
- Which entity was affected by the activity.

## Entities

The entity can be a feature or data in a Sitecore DXP app.

For example, when a Sitecore Cloud Portal administrator adds or removes roles from a user's account, the entity is the affected user. In contrast, when a user creates or deletes an experience in Sitecore Personalize, the entity is the experience.

Here are the activities that Sitecore Common Audit Log records for Sitecore DXP apps:

- [Logged activities in Sitecore CDP](https://doc.sitecore.com/cdp/en/developers/api/en/logged-activities-in-sitecore-cdp.html)
- [Logged activities in Sitecore Connect](https://docs.workato.com/features/activity-audit-log-reference.html#account-activities)
- [Logged activities in Sitecore Personalize](https://doc.sitecore.com/personalize/en/developers/api/en/logged-activities-in-sitecore-personalize.html)
- [Logged activities in Sitecore Cloud Portal](https://doc.sitecore.com/portal/en/developers/sitecore-cloud-portal/sitecore-common-audit-log/logged-activities/logged-activities-in-the-sitecore-cloud-portal.html "Logged activities in the Sitecore Cloud Portal")

## Example audit log

Here's an example audit log. In the log object:

- The `system` key contains the name of the Sitecore DXP app where the activity occurred.
- The `action` key contains the activity that occurred.
- The `sourceSystemUserContext` object contains which user performed the activity.
- The `entity` object contains the entity affected by the activity.

```json
{
  "system": "Personalize",
  "time": "2026-01-08 `08:17`:32",
  "action": "experience_deleted",
  "entity": {
    "id": "574eedc0-79d9-4375-93ad-873737d4c8e1",
    "type": "EXPERIENCE",
    "extensions": {
      "entityLevelExtension": "AnyCustomValues"
    }
  },
  "sourceSystemUserContext": {
    "id": "jane.doe@myretailsite.com",
    "anonymousId": "dxGef14c",
    "IPAddress": "198.10.12.01",
    "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
  },
  "extensions": {
    "eventLevelExtension": "AnyCustomValues"
  }
}

```

In this example, user jane.doe@myretailsite.com deleted an experience in Sitecore Personalize on January 8, 2026.
