Reviewed on June 03, 2025

This page teaches you how to configure the necessary IAM permission set to access Audit Trail.

Configure the Audit Trail permission set

To start using Audit Trail you need to configure the AuditTrailReadOnly or the OrganizationManager permission sets in IAM. The OrganizationManager permission set is included in the Administrators group which is created by default whenever a new Organization is created. The scope of these permission sets is at Organization level.

1. Click IAM & API keys on the top-right drop-down menu of the Scaleway console. The Users tab of the Identity and Access Management dashboard displays.
2. Refer to the page on how to create an IAM policy and follow steps one to five.
3. Select the Access to Organization features scope and click Validate to move on to the next step.
   Important

   The Access to Organization features scope allows you to give the principal permissions to Organization-level features such as IAM, Audit Trail, billing, support and abuse tickets, and project management.

4. Click the Monitoring category in the Products section, then choose the AuditTrailReadOnly permission set.
5. Click Validate.
6. Click Create policy.

Configure Audit Trail access via the IAM Administrators group

You can also use Audit Trail if you are part of the IAM Administrators group.

1. Follow the following procedure until step 3.
2. Click the drop-down under Add to an existing group and add the users to the Administrators group.
3. Click Invite to send the invitation. The user receives an email inviting them to accept your invitation. If they do not already have a Scaleway account, they will be prompted to create one first.
4. The user will appear in the Users tab** once they have accepted the invitation.
