User Activity Controller Documentation

Base URL: /api/admin/activity and /api/admin/users/:id/activity
Guards: authenticate → requireAdmin() → adminLimiter

Table of Contents

• Get Global Activity Feed
• Get Per-User Activity

Notes

• user_activity rows are never soft-deleted — this is an append-only audit log.
• created_at is the timestamp column (no createdAt alias — Sequelize timestamps: false).
• The global feed endpoint joins the users table and enriches each row with full_name and avatar_url.
• The per-user endpoint skips the join for performance since user context is already known.
