Linking Chef Automate UI User Actions to Chef Infra Server

Chef Automate executes Infra Server actions using a shared Automate service credential, not the identity of the logged-in Automate UI user. Chef Infra Server maintains its own independent identity store, separate from Chef Automate’s users. Chef Automate performs Infra Server actions using a single integration key, so Infra Server records all actions as coming from that key rather than any Automate user. Direct user-level attribution is not supported, but timestamps can be correlated across Automate and Infra Server logs as a workaround.
