Identity audit log

Netlify Identity is deprecated

Netlify Identity service and the underlying GoTrue API are deprecated. While Identity and GoTrue continue to function for sites that currently have them enabled, new Identity or GoTrue configurations are not recommended. While we will keep fixing any major security issues that arise, we will no longer fix bugs in the functionality of Identity or GoTrue.

  • For help migrating, existing users can reach out to Support to help you export a list of your users
  • For an alternative to Netlify Identity, we suggest using Auth0. Learn more in our Auth0 extension docs.
  • For an alternative to GoTrue, we suggest Supabase Auth, which is an actively maintained fork of GoTrue.

Supported usage varies depending on Identity level.

Netlify keeps a log of actions taken by your Netlify Identity users. To access a site’s Identity audit log, take these steps:

  1. Navigate to the section for your site.
  2. Select Identity audit log.

To search a site’s Identity audit log, provide a scoped search term and press enter or use the magnifying glass icon in the search field.

Searches require a scope: prefix. The following search scopes are available:
