Abstract

A cloud-based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration and/or storage platform/service) is described that provides administrators with better visibility into content and activity across an enterprise account via advanced search tools and activity reports. Administrator tools are also provided that allow for actively managing content and passively monitoring content with real-time alerts sent to the administrator if usage of the cloud-based platform changes within the enterprise account. A reporting API is also supported by the cloud-based platform to permit the platform's activity logs to be retrieved by a third-party platform. Additionally, administrators are provided with the option to select two-step login verification of enterprise account users.
