View which user sent remote commands to the system

When a remote command (i.e., arming/disarming, etc.) is sent from the Alarm.com customer website or Alarm.com app, the user's login name that sent the command appears in the activity history.

Note: Remote arming and disarming commands use the master user's code. Therefore, the activity history will display the remote command from the user's login name along with an arm or disarm event from the master user. 

It is recommended to create a separate login for each user who is going to be sending remote commands to the system. For more information about creating logins, see Create a new login

For information about navigating to the activity history, see View the system activity history
