Action log: Exclude usergroups from logging

[jjnxpct]

It might be a nice feature to disable action logging for specific usergroups.

Maybe you would like to only log actions in the backend (managers) without logging actions from registered users on the frontend.

Or maybe you would like to log all actions except Super Admin actions. Just to keep track of what other (not you as SU) are doing on the back- or frontend. So you can blame theme when things go wrong ;-)

Not sure about selective logging but we could definitely add a user group filter to com_actionlogs.

not convinced about selective logging.... but adding a user group filter seems reasonable to me

Actually you can log specific user groups by changing the access level of Actionlog plugins.

So we could create an access level and add the usergroups to the we want to log and then set the plugin(s) to that access level?

Or if you don't want to log frontend actions you could use the default 'special' access level?

Both options would not exclude Super User a I think?

Yes.

I don't think this would exclude frontend actions.

The first option would, if configured properly.
