Troubleshoot authentication issues
When you identify access issues, you can generate a report with authentication logs for the impacted user. If those issues refer to a specific device type, you can also apply an additional filter to display the user's authentication attempts performed with this device.
After you create the authentication logs report, you can also download a csv file with the results to save it and share it with other members of the IT team for further investigation.
