We are running a slightly older version of Splunk (4) on Centos 5.5.

I have looked around but was just wondering if the actions taken by an gui admin are logged anywhere.

ie John Smith removed server x from tag list Y?

You should be able to find all of this information in the _audit index. All actions performed in Splunk are logged there, including admin activity.
