Audit log Access

[Eman Alfaour]

Does Jira provide the Ability to restrict access to logs, for example even for System Administrators? regardless of hosting option  ?

Hey @Eman Alfaour

To my knowledge, it's not possible to restrict access to the audit log. On Server / Datacenter, access requires the Jira Administrator global permission. You can restrict it to Jira System Administrators setting a property. You can find details in the documentation:

• Auditing in Jira 

I'm not aware of a similar tweak on Cloud.

Best, Max

@Eman Alfaour -

In Jira/JSM - For the server on-prems env (Data Center), Jira system admin has the ability to access the system logs.  On the other hand, for the Cloud env, one will need to contact Atlassian Support (https://support.atlassian.com) for their assistance on accessing the backend logs.

Hope this helps.
