Specific audit logs are not being generated.

I changed the administrative permissions for a specific service principal in the account management screen.

I expected an audit log to be generated with service_name = accountns and action_name = changeServicePrincipalAcls, as described in the audit log reference, but it wasn't generated.

What kind of operation would generate an audit log with service_name = accountns and action_name = changeServicePrincipalAcls?

Hi @kohei-matsumura,

An audit log entry with service_name = accounts and action_name = changeServicePrincipalAcls is generated only when you change the workspace-level ACLs of a service principal... as in... when you use the workspace permissions API/UI to grant or revoke "Service principal user/manager" on that service principal at the workspace level.

The account console "Permissions" tab you used is backed by the Account Access Control API, which emits service_name = accountsAccessControl, action_name = updateRuleSet, not changeServicePrincipalAcls.

You may also find this useful.
