## Remarks

- Any session can call it, but the result is limited to what the caller administers:
  - a login without server rights sees only the vaults in which it has full control of the
    vault; a caller who administers no vault gets empty lists;
  - a system administrator sees all vaults and the server-level activity.
- The input and output JSON formats are those of M-Files Admin and are not otherwise documented.
  The server reads `isShowingOnlyUserActivities` (default true) from the parameters; `{}` is a
  valid parameter document.
- Reads an in-memory buffer; clear it with
  [ResetServerActivityBuffer](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCServerAdmin/ResetServerActivityBuffer/index.md).
