Message Auditing

Rocket.Chat allows authorized users to audit messages and read conversations in a workspace. The user must have an auditor role and Can Audit permission to access the auditing panel. As an organization, you may want to inspect the omnichannel conversations and watch out for agents that use improper language with customers. An auditor can do the following:

• Review messages in private rooms.
• Review messages by users.
• Review direct messages between users.
• Review omnichannel messages.
• Check the audit history of individuals using the Message Auditing Panel.

To access the Message Auditing Panel,

• Navigate to Administration > Audit > Messages,

{% hint style="info" %} If you cant find the audit options, don't hesitate to get in touch with your workspace administrator to assign message auditing permmisions to you.

See Messaging Auditing Log to learn more about the auditing log history. {% endhint %}
