What do the different event types in the audit log mean?
The audit log within your site allows administrators to track certain actions taken by your end users and by SAP Ariba administrators. Only members of the Customer Administrator group can access this section.
To access the audit log, click Site Manager > Audit Log.
The most commonly used filters for the audit log include Date, Event Type, Real User, and Effective User. Real User is the user who actually performed the action, while Effective User is the on behalf of user. For example if User X is logged in as User Y to perform an action, User X is the Real User, and User Y is the Effective User.
