This article will demonstrate how to view file access logs in OneDrive/SharePoint.

Note: The end-user must have a valid Anchor account in the Admin Dashboard prior to using the Anchor features provided in our OneDrive/SharePoint integration. Users can be added to the Anchor platform by simply adding them to a user role. If a user hasn't been created in the Admin dashboard, adding their email address to a user role will also add them as a user. Users can only be added if they belong to a valid email domain (which is maintained in the global policies on Anchor dashboard). Admins will have the ability to edit valid email domains. To learn more about how to add users to a user role in the admin dashboard, click the link below

Step 1: Right-click the desired file and select Anchor>Show File Access Logs.

Step 2: A new tab in your browser where you may now view the file's access logs. Please note: The location shown on the map is based on the public IP address of the user.

Please note, users must be logged into Anchor prior to accessing the logs. Users will be redirected to the log-in page to begin the process if they are not already logged in (more information).
