How to know which user is visiting a SharePoint Site most often?

Question

Wednesday, December 6, 2017 5:05 PM

Hi, 

We are in the process of adopting SharePoint and would like to know which users are visiting a SharePoint Site.

Also, as part of the process, we are trying to reward the user who visits the Site most often. 

Currently, the Site Usage report is giving a general view and not User Specific reports.

Please let me know if there is any way to track the users visiting a Sharepoint Online Site.

Cheers

Hi intheone- you'll need to use Powershell or CSOM to gather that type of info. Otherwise there are third party tools out there that will work. See the following link for details:

Hi intheone,

You can generate the reports with a site collection using the audit log reports in SharePoint, filter and analyze this data to know who has visited this site.

Audit log reports can track users actions on the site. When users visit the site, they definitely will visit the specific content such as a home page. The View event is available for audit log reposts. Analyze this data to determine who has visited the site and who visit the site most often.

Information about viewing audit log reports:
