Deleted?<\/li>\n\t<li>What modifications has a specific member made to the organization and content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you have the desire to delve into the history logs of your ArcGIS Online Organization through the REST API and provide the ArcGIS Online team with feedback about questions you would like to answer and the API itself,\u00a0 join the Early Adopters community.\n\nIn the community you will find a separate forum from the upcoming release EAC with some documentation, scenarios, example requests and forums to discuss feedback. You can use your current ArcGIS Online organization or request access to a sample organization to query information about users, items, groups and past actions. You should have some knowledge of the REST API and ArcGIS Online user and item administration to get the most out of this functionality. The ability to program or dabble in python would be helpful but not a requirement.\n\nTo participate, sing in or join the ArcGIS Online Early Adopters Community by clicking on this <a
