How To: Manage and Use the Session History Plugin

The Session History plugin allows the Server Administrator to view what changes users have made while logged into NodeWorx or SiteWorx.

Session Histories can be configured to be deleted after a specified number of days.

If the Session History plugin is enabled, a new menu item will appear in NodeWorx, under the NodeWorx menu heading called Session History. This menu item does not appear when the plugin is disabled. This menu item is only available to the master NodeWorx user/Server Administrator. It will not appear in the menu for secondary NodeWorx users or Resellers.
