Audit logs - "Denied access request" - What does this mean exactly?
Hi _Mk_Andrada
This activity refers to option B and logs what user performed the rejection of the access request. You can see who requested access to the file but the user of the activity "denied access request" is the owner of the file that received the notification and hit "decline".
I ran through this scenario in my lab to confirm when user A, Aaron, opened a file they did not have access to and was greeted by the "no access, request" screen (there is no log of a user seeing this screen) so Aaron requested access (the request is logged as "created access request"). User B, Mike, is the file owner and received the request and hit reject. The results are below.
