View audit history for Azure AD roles in Privileged Identity Management

You can use the Privileged Identity Management (PIM) audit history to see all role assignments and activations within the past 30 days for all privileged roles. If you want to retain audit data for longer than the default retention period, you can use Azure Monitor to route it to an Azure storage account. For more information, see Archive Azure AD logs to an Azure storage account. If you want to see the full audit history of activity in your organization in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), part of Microsoft Entra, including administrator, end user, and synchronization activity, you can use the Azure Active Directory security and activity reports.
