Tracking who disabled a user

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Can anyone assist in finding out who/when disabled a particular user in Dynamics GP 2018?

I'm assuming it will be the sa account but would be good nonetheless to get a confirmation of a date and time.

We do have most of the Activity Tracking options enabled but I cannot figure out how to find out when a user was disabled.

The Activity Detail interface is not very intuitive.

    Hi ,

    The activity tracking feature in GP is very limited and does not track necessarily all the changes, and AFAIK, user management in GP isn't specifically covered by it. The audit trails tools that used to be available with GP was deprecated by Microsoft and you're left to resort to ISV tools like FastPath Audit or Rockton's Auditor tools..

    The user management is stored in the DYNAMICS..SY01400 table and does have a field called "LSTUSRED" which will tell you who edited last the user.. but this is by no means an audit trail, as one could simply go into a user card and either reset the password or simply change some user data. Only the last edit will be  'remembered' in the SY01400 table, along with a timestamp in the field MODIFDT which only holds the date, but no time.

    I made a quick test by enabling in the Activity Tracking option the File Tracking (Administration >> Setup >> System >> Activity Tracking), and then checking the box for 'Modifications to Master Files'. I then went into the user management and added a User Class-ID to an existing user.  

    Went back to Activity Tracking inquiry, and guess what ? the changes were tracked down :

    Hope this helps.
