# Enable or disable audit logging

> Learn how to enable the Sigma Audit Logs connection to record data about user-initiated events in your organization.

Sigma facilitates audit logging through the *Sigma Audit Logs* connection, which records data related to user-initiated events that occur within your Sigma organization. The connection is disabled by default, but an **Admin** user can enable it in the **Administration** portal.

This document explains how to enable or disable the *Sigma Audit Logs* connection. For more information about audit logging with Sigma, see the following:

* [Access and explore audit logs](/docs/access-and-explore-audit-logs)
* [Audit log events and metadata](/docs/audit-log-events-and-metadata)
* [Create an audit logs storage integration](/docs/manage-an-audit-logs-storage-integration)
* [Export audit log data to cloud storage](/docs/export-audit-log-data-to-cloud-storage)

> **Note**
>
> [Audit log events](/docs/audit-log-events-and-metadata) are not intended to be compared with usage data. Audit logs are designed for security, compliance, and governance use cases and provide a detailed, immutable record of who did what and when in your Sigma organization. [Usage data](/docs/usage-overview) contains aggregate data about workbook queries performed in your Sigma organization and is not intended for auditing purposes.

## User requirements

</table>

To enable the *Sigma Audit Logs* connection, you must be assigned the **Admin** account type.

## Enable the Sigma Audit Log connection

1. Go to **Administration** > **Account** > **General Settings**.

   1. In the Sigma header, click your user avatar to open the user menu.

   2. Select **Administration** to open the **Administration** portal.

   3. In the side panel, select **Account**, then open the **General Settings** tab.
2. In the **Audit Logging** section, locate the **Sigma Audit Logs** setting and click **Enable**. The setting displays a **Feature Pending** tag while the audit log connection activates.

   > **Info**
   >
   > If the **General Settings** tab doesn’t include an **Audit Logging** section, contact Sigma Support or your Sigma Account Executive to enable it for your organization.
3. The connection typically activates within a few minutes, and Sigma sends a confirmation email when the connection is successfully enabled. Click **Open in Sigma** in the email or refresh the **Administration** portal, then click **Browse Connection** in the **Sigma Audit Logs** setting to view the connection data.

## Disable the Sigma Audit Log connection

You can turn off audit logging for your Sigma organization. If you wish to re-enable your audit logs, Sigma stores data related to user-initiated events captured before you disabled audit logging for 30 days. If you re-enable audit logging you can recover that data, but you will need to reconfigure any storage integrations and scheduled exports.

> Sigma tracks which user disabled auto logging.

To disable audit logging:

1. Go to **Administration** > **Account** > **General Settings**.

4. (Optional) Select the **view elements** option to access the **Lineage** tab of your audit logs in the connections browser so you can review any Sigma elements that use your audit logs before you disable the connection.
5. Select **Disable audit logging**. The setting displays a **Disabling** tag while the audit log connection is being turned off.
