Access to SharePoint Audit logs

Hi,

 

I have a requirement to give someone who deals with document management access to the audit logs for SharePoint via "Office 365 Security & Compliance"

https://protection.office.com/unifiedauditlog

 

I don't want to add them to the Site Collection Administrators group as I don't want to give them access to the audit logs for all Office365 applications .. exchange, teams, SharePoint , yammer etc. 

 

Is there a best practice or what would be the best way to do this?

 

Thank you for your time,
Ollie

    To access the Audit Log Search feature is not required to be a SharePoint Admin, but of course you need a role to be able to use the Audit Log Search. Take a look at the Microsoft 365 roles to decide which role you should assign following the least privilege approach
