AUDIT LOG

In SLASCONE, changes to online licenses and their entitlements can be delivered through the normal licensing workflow without generating and distributing a new license file for every change. A reliable audit trail is therefore essential for understanding what changed, when it changed, and who made the change.

The audit log records historical changes to key licensing entities. SLASCONE also supports configurable comments and version comparison, making it easier to document the reason for a change and inspect differences between earlier versions.

AUDIT LOGS FOR LICENSING ENTITIES

SLASCONE maintains a history of changes to the following entities:

• Products
• Editions
• Licenses
• License bundles

When an entity changes, SLASCONE retains a historical snapshot in JSON format, together with information about the change, including its timestamp and the user who made it. Where a comment was provided, it is also displayed in the audit log.

Open the relevant entity and select the Audit Log tab to review its change history. The entries show when each change occurred, who made it, and any associated comment.

COMMENT POLICY

To make license changes easier to understand and trace, you can configure whether users must enter a comment when saving changes in the SLASCONE portal. The Comment mode setting is configured at product level under Products > [Select product] > Licensing.

Three options are available:

• None: No comment is requested when saving changes.
• Optional: Users can enter a comment, but may also save without one.
• Mandatory: Users must provide a comment before the change can be saved.

With Mandatory selected, SLASCONE prompts the user to explain the change. Saving is not possible until a comment has been entered. This is particularly useful when license modifications require an explanation for support, internal accountability, or compliance purposes.

Comments are displayed alongside the corresponding audit log entries. The audit history is maintained regardless of whether comments are disabled, optional, or mandatory.

VIEWING AND COMPARING VERSIONS

The audit log allows you to inspect historical changes and compare two recorded versions of an entity. This helps identify precisely what was modified between two points in time.

1. Open the entity's Audit Log tab.
2. Select the checkboxes for the two versions you want to compare.
3. Click the Compare Versions icon in the bottom toolbar.
4. Review the differences between the selected versions.

You can also use the view icon next to a history entry to inspect an individual recorded version. Version comparison is intended for reviewing changes; it does not itself revert or restore an earlier version.

DELETE OPERATIONS

Audit information for delete operations is currently available through the SLASCONE API rather than the portal's standard audit log view. For example, license history can be retrieved using the following endpoint:

GET /api/v2/isv/{isv_id}/licenses/{license_id}/history

See the license history endpoint in the API Test Center for more information.

USER MANAGEMENT

SLASCONE uses Azure AD B2C for identity management, as described in Azure Active Directory B2C and Federation Options. The identity provider maintains its own sign-in and authentication audit information.

SLASCONE additionally maintains a user-management audit log under Roles > Audit Log, including the following events:

• Invited
• Onboarded
• Deleted (no roles remaining in SLASCONE)
• Deleted in Azure AD B2C
