Table of contents Audit Aternity Access with REST API (version 2.0) USER_AUDIT returns a list of users and the times that they successfully signed in, so that you can audit or monitor the people accessing Aternity. For example, you can check that all Application Owners (AOs) monitor their product performance regularly in Aternity by calling this API and filtering for the AO department. This returns the list of AOs and times that they signed in to Aternity. Each returned entry from USER_AUDIT represents a successful sign in from the Aternity sign-in page, or via SSO with an identity provider. The entry provides the time the event took place, and the Aternity username. Note About how long Aternity keeps this data (retention) and how far back you can go, read here. Note This article covers the latest REST API version. For older version 1.0, click here. Before You BeginTo send a REST API query in Excel, PowerBI or a browser, enter the URL of the REST API, your Aternity username (must have the OData REST API role) and its password. You can find this by selecting User icon > REST API Access. SSO users must generate (once) and use a special password, as Aternity's REST API does not authenticate with your enterprise's identity provider. For LDAP users, enter the domain name, then a backslash ('\'), then your network username and password. For example domain_name\jsmithTo view Aternity REST API, enter the base URL from Aternity > User icon > REST API Access, followed by the name of the API into a browser, Excel or PowerBI (learn more). For VIEWING, use <base_url>/latest/API_NAME; for INTEGRATIONS, use <base_url>/<version number>/API_NAME (for example, <base_url>/v1/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v1.0/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v2/API_NAME, or <base_url>/v2.0/API_NAME).
