Misuse of "Sign in as user"

In my country there are strict laws against signing in as other users without their knowing it. This however is a feature in Dropbox teams, that the admin can do this without notifying the user.

 

I have reason to believe that this has happened in our organization and I´m wondering, is there any way I can check if the admin has signed in as me? Alternatively, is there any way another admin can check this? Is this logged somewhere?

    Hey Masselass, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
     

    If you're a team member and your team admin has accessed your Dropbox team account using the Sign in as user feature, you may receive a notification email, however, it is at your admin's discretion whether to send this email. 

     

    Other team admins will be able to see these actions in the team's activity log

     

    I hope this information helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.
