Is it possible to find out which user (username) deleted a workflow from Alteryx Gallery?

Hi,

 

Is it possible to find out which user (username) deleted a workflow from Alteryx Gallery? Is there a custom workflow that I can use?

 

Please help.

This is not a feature of the product, but if you install Robo3T and connect to the AlteryxGallery database you can find this information in one of the collections

Run the following query::

 

    db.getCollection('auditEvents').find({Entity:'AppInfo',Event:'update',NewValues:/isDeleted":true/})

 

The above query finds all results in the auditEvents collection where the Entity is AppInfo (workflows) that were updated to have their isDeleted flag set to true - this is how workflows are deleted by the Gallery.

 

You can then use the userId field to query against the users collection to find the details of this user (USER_ID should be replaced with the value of userId):

 

db.getCollection('users').find({"_id" : ObjectId("USER_ID")})

To connect Robo3T to AlteryxGallery, see:  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/How-to-Connect-to-an-Embedded-Server-...

I hope this helps!
