Major setting changes, additions, customizations, page customization changes, and event activity made by dashboard admins can be tracked in your community dashboard in Settings > Activity Log. This log helps admins see who made changes, what changed, and when. It also notifies the admin assigned in the dashboard when changes may require attention or approval.
To see the list of current community administrators, navigate to the Permissions tab in your dashboard main menu. To add or remove administrators to your dashboard, follow these steps.
