400	Invalid parameter(s), or an administrative unit with the specified `admin_unit_id` does not exist.

Response Format

Add Administrator to Administrative Unit

Assign the administrator with admin_id to the administrative unit with admin_unit_id. The administrator user must have restricted_by_admin_units set to true before attempting to assign them to an administrative unit via the API. Requires "Grant administrators" API permission.

Remove Administrator from Administrative Unit

Unassign the administrator with admin_id from the administrative unit with admin_unit_id. The administrator user will still have restricted_by_admin_units set to true, and if the admin is not assigned to any other admin unit they will not be able to view any users or integrations.

Logs

Authentication Logs

Returns a paged list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. To fetch all results, call repeatedly with the next_offset paging parameter as long as the result metadata has next_offset values. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large scale distributed system, and this two minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

The v2 handler provides new filtering and querying capabilities unavailable in the legacy v1 handler. This includes the ability to filter on users, groups, applications, authentication results, factors, and time ranges.

GET or POST /admin/v2/logs/authentication

Parameters

Use the paging parameters to change the number of results shown in a response or to retrieve additional results. See Response Paging for details.

Paging Parameter Required? Allow Multiple? Description

Authentication Logs (Legacy v1)

The v2 authentication logs endpoint provides new filtering and querying capabilities unavailable in the legacy v1 handler, like the ability to filter on users, groups, applications, authentication results, factors, and time ranges. Consider migrating to the new handler.

Returns a list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large scale distributed system, and this two minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

The 1000 earliest events will be returned; you may need to call this multiple times with mintime to page through the entire log. Note that more or fewer than 1000 events may be returned depending on how many actual events exist for the specified mintime.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

description

String detailing what changed, either as free-form text or serialized JSON.

When the description contains JSON it may be either a serialized object or a serialized array of objects. Each key in the object(s) corresponds to a property that was changed. This JSON is intended only to summarize the change, not to be de-serialized.

The first example below is for a "user_update" action. The object that changed was a user whose Duo username is "jsmith". The change saved new values for the user's "notes" and "realname" fields, overwriting the previous values if any were set. They correspond to the similarly named fields in the Modify User call in the Admin API and the User Details page in the Duo Admin Panel.

The second example shows an "admin_login_error" action. The administrator's login attempt failed because the admin attempted to use SSO but, as indicated by the "error" in the description, SAML login is disabled for administrators on that account.

isotimestamp

ISO8601 timestamp of the event.

object The object that was acted on. For example: "jsmith" (for users), "(555) 713-6275 x456" (for phones), or "HOTP 8-digit 123456" (for tokens).

timestamp An integer indicating the Unix timestamp of the event.

username The full name of the administrator who performed the action in the Duo Admin Panel. If the action was performed with the API this will be "API". Automatic actions like deletion of inactive users have "System" for the username. Changes synchronized from Directory Sync will have a username of the form (example) "AD Sync: name of directory."

Example Responses

{
  "stat": "OK",
  "response": [{

Offline Enrollment Logs

Returns a list of Duo Authentication for Windows Logon offline enrollment events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response.

Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

GET /admin/v1/logs/offline_enrollment

Parameters

Parameter	Required?	Description
`mintime`	Optional	Only return records that have a Unix `timestamp` in seconds of `mintime` or later. Use `mintime+1` to avoid receiving duplicate data.
