What is Basedash Audit Logs?
Basedash Audit Logs is a native, built-in record of every activity across your Basedash organization — sign-ins, dashboard views, data exports, queries, and configuration changes. It captures who did what and when, including every query the AI assistant runs, with full attribution and traceability. The feature is designed to give BI environments a durable memory, turning vague questions like "who accessed customer data last quarter?" into a quick filter rather than a full investigation.
Who it's for
- Security teams — need to answer access and query questions during reviews, incidents, or audits without digging through scattered systems.
- IT and compliance officers — must prove data governance to regulators and internal policy, with retention and export options that match existing requirements.
- Enterprise platform leads — rolling out analytics across large organizations that require SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and now a complete activity trail before approving a BI tool.
Key features
Complete event coverage
The audit log records access events (sign-ins, dashboards viewed, tables opened, exports created), query events (every query run by a person or the AI), and configuration events (changes to groups, permissions, data source access, and organization settings). Each event includes the actor, action, resource, and timestamp.
AI activity on the record
When Basedash AI answers a question, the underlying query is logged, attributed, and traceable — including the question asked, the SQL that ran, and who the AI was working for. AI actions are held to the same accountability standard as human analysts.
Export, retention, and API access
Events can be streamed to your SIEM or exported on demand, retention can be configured to match your compliance policy, and audit events can be pulled programmatically through the Basedash developer platform. These controls slot directly into existing security review workflows.
Enterprise-ready foundation
Audit logs join Basedash's existing enterprise controls — SSO, SCIM provisioning, role-based access control, and row-level security — and complement SOC 2 Type II compliance. The model is central identity, explicit authorization, governed data access, and now a complete record of it all.
What stands out
Every action, on the record.
Most BI tools have no memory of who viewed a dashboard, exported a CSV, or changed data source access. Basedash Audit Logs closes that gap natively — no bolted-on third-party tooling, no blind spots. The fact that AI-generated queries are logged with the same rigor as human ones is particularly notable, since AI-native analytics platforms often raise more security questions than they answer. Here, the AI's work is fully attributable from the start.
Worth checking out if…
You're preparing for a security review, rolling out BI across a larger organization, or need to prove data access and query history to compliance stakeholders. If your team relies on AI-assisted analytics and your security team needs to know exactly what the AI is doing with sensitive data, this feature turns that concern into a straightforward filter. It's also relevant if you're already using SSO, SCIM, and RBAC and want a complete governance story in one platform.
