Compatibility

This plugin is compatible with the following Kimai releases:

Installation

Copy files

Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory: var/plugins/AuditTrailBundle/

The file structure needs to like like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── AuditTrailBundle
│   ├── AuditTrailBundle.php
|   └ ... more files and directories follow here ...

Clear cache

After uploading the files, Kimai needs to know about the new plugin. It will be found once the cache was re-built. Call these commands from the Kimai directory:

bin/console kimai:reload

bin/console cache:clear --env=prod
bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod

You might have to set file permissions afterwards:

chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/
chmod -R g+rw public/avatars/

Database

Run the following command:

bin/console kimai:bundle:audittrail:install

This will install all required databases.

Usage

When logged in as SUPER_ADMIN, you will now see the overview page at /en/audit/ and the items audit log screens in the “action” dropdown menus.

If this was successful, you can now think about giving permissions to other users as well.

Permissions

This bundle ships a couple of new permissions, which limits the access to certain functions:

By default, these are assigned to each user with the role ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN.
