Magento 2 facilitates store owners to create new admin user in Magento 2 to get the store managed by multiple people and assign multiple admin roles to administer it.
However, when there are multiple admins, it is a must for store owners to monitor their tasks and keep an eye on their performance.
To do so, the store owner can configure the admin action log in Magento 2 Commerce version.
For the open-source version, the admin can install Meetanshi’s Magento 2 Admin Action Log for monitoring the tasks of multiple admin users.
As a store owner, you can view the log history, the activities of each admin, and hence manage the admins who run your store.
The Magento 2 action log includes the IP, name, and date which gives better insights to the store owner about the activities and performance of the store admins.
