# Settings & Activity Logs

The **Settings** page (avatar menu → **Settings**) groups personal preferences and the organization's audit views.

***

### General — Time Zone

**Personal Settings → General** sets the time zone used to display every date and time in the Dashboard — tables, charts, and day boundaries in reports. By default your browser's time zone is used.

> If your team spans time zones, agree on one convention for reconciliation work: "today" in [Daily Payments](reports/daily-payments.md) depends on this setting.

### User Activity

**Team Settings → User Activity** is the audit trail: every consequential action taken in the Dashboard, by whom, from where.

**Requires:** *view activity logs*.

| Column | Contents |
| ------ | -------- |
| Event | The action taken, with timestamp |
| User | Email and IP address |

**Filters:** Email, Event (multi-select, grouped by Payments / Access Management / Users Management / Reports), and Period (defaults to the **last 7 days**; presets up to 90).

**Logged events include:** captured / refunded / voided a payment · added payment as VIP · created / updated / deleted an access group · provided or retrieved user access · created / deleted / blocked / unblocked a user · downloaded a report · user login.

Clicking a row opens the **Event Details** drawer with the full record: event name and time, user email and ID, request IP, user agent, request parameters, and agent ID — enough to answer "who refunded this payment, from where, and with what parameters?"

### User Login Activity

**Team Settings → User Login Activity** is the same view restricted to **sign-in events** — the page for access reviews and investigating suspicious logins (unfamiliar IPs, logins outside working hours, activity on accounts that should be blocked).

**Requires:** *view activity logs*.

### Practical Audit Recipes

* **"Who refunded payment X?"** — User Activity, Event = *Refunded a payment*, Period covering the refund; open the row and check the request parameters for the payment ID
* **Access review** — User Login Activity over 90 days, cross-checked against the user list in [User Management](user-management.md); block accounts that shouldn't be signing in
* **Group hygiene** — User Activity filtered to Access Management events shows every permission change, with the actor
