The Project activity report contains four summary charts. Start with Active users for adoption trends, then use Project Activity and Task activity for deeper engagement signals:
- Active users - Shows the daily active users on each day over time. Currently, this chart includes only Project for the Web and Project Online desktop client.
- Active users (by client) - Shows the daily active users on each day over time, broken out by client (Project for the Web vs. Project Online desktop client).
- Project Activity - Shows the number of daily sessions of Project over time, for each client (Project for the Web and Project Online desktop client).
- Task activity - Shows the daily number of tasks created or edited over time in Project for the Web
The report also has a table that shows activity for each Project user in your environment.

For more information on privacy settings, see Use policy settings to manage privacy controls for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
