Additional information for synchronized environments

When auditing Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID in a synchronized environment, you can add columns to display extra mapping information through the search Layout tab:

Table 7. Available columns
Layout Tab	Search Column Name	Description
Microsoft Entra - Activity Origin	Activity Origin	‘Cloud’ indicates that the event activity was performed directly in the cloud. ‘AD’ indicates that the event activity was originally performed on-premises and was synchronized to the cloud.
Microsoft Entra - On-premises User	On-premises User	Domain and sAMAccountName of the on-premises user that corresponds to the cloud user that initiated the event.
Microsoft Entra - On-premises Target	On-premises Target	Domain and sAMAccountName of the on-premises object that corresponds to the cloud object that was the target of the event.
Microsoft Entra - Target Sync Type	Target Sync Type	‘In Cloud’ indicates that the target object exists only in the cloud ‘Synced from AD’ indicates that the target object was synchronized from Active Directory.
Microsoft Entra - Target Display Name	Target Display Name	Display the on-premises object display name for synchronized environments or the cloud object display name only for cloud-only objects.
Microsoft Entra - Tenant Initial Domain	Tenant Initial Domain	Default Microsoft Entra domain name.
Microsoft Entra - Tenant Display Name	Tenant Display Name	Tenant display name.
Microsoft Entra - Subject Sync Type	Subject Sync Type	‘SyncedFromAD’ indicates that the subject object was synchronized from Active Directory. ‘In Cloud’ indicates that the subject object exists only in the cloud.
Microsoft Entra - Subject Display Name	Subject Display Name	Displays the Active Directory on-premises name if a hybrid object and the Microsoft Entra name if a cloud object.
Microsoft Entra - On-premises Subject	On-premises Subject	Domain and sAMAccountName of the on-premises object that corresponds to the cloud object that was the subject of the event.
Subject Name	Subject Name	Microsoft Entra object name regardless of whether a cloud or hybrid object.

In addition to the search columns, the ‘Who’ field shows the mapping information in the event details pane. In cloud only deployments, this field displays the cloud user that initiated the event. If it is a synchronized deployment, the associated on-premises user is displayed after the cloud user in square brackets.

Working with generic Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra events

The Microsoft Entra ID audit reports and the Microsoft 365 audit logs are continuously evolving. To ensure that Change Auditor is synchronized with these updates, generic events have been introduced. Each Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365 facility in Change Auditor has one generic event defined.

The generic event is generated each time an activity occurs that does not have a corresponding event defined in Change Auditor. For example, “Microsoft Entra- User event” is generated when activities such as “Reset password (self-service)” or “Unlock user account” are performed in Microsoft Entra ID. Activity information is populated in additional columns and the description for the event (What statement) is dynamically constructed based upon the activity and target object name.

When working with these events, you can add additional columns to the search layout to view information about the activity.

Additional Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra event details

The event details pane contains the following additional information to help gain a better understanding of the activities taking place in Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Entra ID.

Table 9. Event details
Tab	Available information
Overview	Displays a high-level view of the activity that is generated for each event. You can quickly see when the event occurred, who made the change, what changed, where the change originated, the activity, the target type, synchronization type, subject type, subject synchronization type, activity type, category, and action, Additional information for sign-in events include the reason for a sign-in failure and the sign-in location. Additional information for sign-in risk events include the type of risk activity, risk status, risk level, and origin (IP address).
Target (Microsoft Entra events only) NOTE: This tab is not displayed for sign-in and sign-in risk events.	Displays details on the property updates with the old and new value when available. It also displays information about multiple targets affected by a single event. For example, when a user added to a group, you can see both the user and the group as affected targets. When there are multiple targets, the target that best matches the activity type is displayed as the primary target in the Overview tab.
