Is there a way to retrieve a user's sign-in logs longer than 7 days?

Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, Upgrade to Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 license, which extends the default retention period to 30 days for sign-in logs.

Answer 2

Hello @Linus Luo,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Assuming you have a Microsoft Entra ID Free license in your tenant, as you mentioned, you are looking for user sign-in logs beyond seven days.

Unfortunately, with a Microsoft Entra ID Free license, sign-in logs are only retained for seven days. To have sign-in logs available for 30 days, you would need at least a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 license.

For more information on the data retention policies and licensing requirements, please refer to the following document: How long does Microsoft Entra ID store the data?

If you have a Premium P1 or P2 license for your directory and are still seeing only seven days of logs, please let me know so I can investigate further and assist with a solution.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
