Track Workspace-Aware Events

Learn what types of events are considered workspace specific vs organization specific.

The Events page shows system activity and test results generated across your Drata environment.

When using Workspaces, some events are workspace-specific, while others remain organization-wide.


Who can access the Events page

You must have one of the following roles:

  • Admin

  • Information Security Lead

  • Workspace Manager

Role restriction

  • Users with the Risk Manager role cannot access the Events page.


Workspace-aware events

Workspace-aware events are tied to the currently selected Workspace.

These events change when you switch Workspaces using the Workspace picker.

Examples include:

  • Failed or completed tests

  • Monitoring-related events

  • Audit-related test activity

Workspace Managers can view raw test results and evidence for their assigned Workspace(s).


Organization-wide events

Some events always apply to the entire organization and are not tied to a specific Workspace.

Examples include:

  • Policy creation or updates

  • Certain access and configuration events

These events appear regardless of which Workspace is selected.


Workspace-aware event categories

You can filter events using Categories. The following categories include workspace-aware events:

  • Autopilot

    • ⚠️ Some Autopilot events are organization-wide.

    • Test-related events are workspace-aware.

  • Monitor

  • Audit

  • Report

  • GRC

  • Custom Frameworks

Exception

  • Auditor login events and auditor access logs are always organization-wide, even when other events in the same category are workspace-aware.


Filter and sort events

  • Filtering behavior is consistent across all Workspaces.

  • Events are sorted by Timestamp, with the most recent events displayed first.

  • Switching Workspaces updates the event list automatically for workspace-aware events.
