# What are Audits and reports in the admin console?

## User report and admin audit log

In G Suite, Reports and Audits refer to a set of tools that provide administrators with insights into how their organization is using G Suite. These tools allow administrators to track user activity, monitor security events, and troubleshoot issues.

There are several types of Reports and Audits available in G Suite, including:

User Reports: These reports provide administrators with information on how users are using G Suite services, such as Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. Usage reports can help identify which services are most heavily used, which users are inactive, and how much storage is being used.

Admin Audit Logs: These logs provide a detailed record of administrative actions taken within G Suite, such as user account changes, settings modifications, and login events. Admin audit logs can help administrators track changes made to their organization's G Suite configuration and identify any unauthorized activity.

By using Reports and Audits in G Suite, administrators can gain valuable insights into how their organization is using G Suite, identify potential security risks and issues, and take action to address them.
