1Password Events Reporting item usage actions

You can use the 1Password Events API to send your 1Password account activity to your security information and event management (SIEM) system, including item usage.

ItemUsage objects contain actions, which describe how an item was used.

caution

Actions are only captured from client apps using 1Password 8.4.0 or later.

Item usage action values

Possible values for action include enter-item-edit-mode, export, fill, reveal, secure-copy, select-sso-provider, server-create, server-fetch, server-update, and share. The behaviors that trigger each type of action are grouped below by 1Password client type.
