Resource events
The Resource Events page is an audit log of actions taken on resources managed by Akamai MFA, such as integrations, policies, users, groups, devices, bypass codes, and enrollment emails. Each entry records who performed an action, what action was performed, the affected resource, and the request details. Use Resource Events to review administrative activity, investigate configuration or account changes, and support security audits.
The Resource Events page captures actions performed through Enterprise Center, the Akamai MFA APIs, and automated processes such as user provisioning. It also captures user-initiated actions, such as device enrollment or device deletion.
View resource events
In the Enterprise Center navigation menu, select Multi-factor Authentication > Resource Events.
The Resource Events page displays a list of events, sorted by most recent.
Each event in the list shows the following columns:
- Timestamp. The event date and time in your local time zone.
- Resource. The resource affected by the action, including its name, a badge indicating the resource type, and the resource ID with a link when available.
- Action. The action performed on the resource such as create, delete, or modify.
- Actor. The user or client that performed the action.
Actor roles
The actor is the identity that performed an action. Each actor has one of the following roles:
| Icon | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | An administrator in Enterprise Center. | |
| Admin client | An API client that uses an administrative Akamai MFA API credential. | |
| Authentication client | A client performing authentication on behalf of a user, such as an integration that initiates an MFA challenge. | |
| Authenticator | An enrolled device or authenticator acting on its own behalf such as when syncing data. | |
| Custodian | An internal Akamai process that maintains MFA resources on your behalf, such as routine system maintenance and cleanup. | |
| Provisioning | An automated user-provisioning process, such as SCIM or EAA directory synchronization. | |
| User | A user managing their own account, such as enrolling or deleting devices. |
View event details
To display full event details, click the resource name. The event drawer opens with the Overview and JSON tabs.
The Overview tab presents event fields in a readable layout, organized into two sections: Activity and Details. The Activity section shows the core details of the event:

- Path and query and HTTP method. The API request that generated the event.
The Details section includes additional resource metadata that describes the updated state of the resource.
The JSON tab presents the complete event record in JSON format. This is the raw event as recorded by the Akamai MFA service, so the exact fields can vary by resource type and action. Click Copy JSON to copy this content to your clipboard.
