Hi,
  One of the projects that I manage stores sensitive financial and
accounting information in datastore. The auditors require log of
everything done there. However, people with ownership rights can view
and manipulate the data directly through the web dashboard surpassing
any logs in the appengine code.
  As far as I found, Google's audit log logs only table operations and
not crud on individual records which is a problem. Is there a way to
record such actions?
Regards,
Dzhovani

So to clarify, you want a feature for audit logs to record the email addresses of users why they modify Datastore data? Can you post a screenshot of the Audit logs that do not currently contain this as it is not clear where you would like this implemented after removing all personal and sensitive information such as email address, keys, passwords, credit card information etc.

Hi,

  Here is a screenshot of the web dashboard editor:

https://console.cloud.google.com/datastore/

What we need is for crud operations performed there to be reflected in the audit log. I found this from april, but decided to double check:

Hi,

  Thanks for the assistance. I really hope that the feature will be easy to implement because it is the only way our project can comply with the current accounting standards.

Regards,
