how to identify the user that uploads a file

[sogden]

Hello

 I'd like to know who uploaded a file.  Can I add a search criteria in the search forms?  Or extract it in a report?  If so what is the correct node to use to do so?

Hi @sogden,

Information about asset user who uploads the assets is represented by jcr:createdBy property stored under dam:Asset node.

You can use OOTB Assets Report:

1. Open /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/reports/reportlist.html
2. Select Create
3. Choose Upload report
   
4. Fill all the data like title, date range, path etc
   
5. Add custom column that will show jcr:createdBy value
   
6. Click create and wait for report generation to be completed.

You can browse report directly on AEM or download results.

More about Assets Report can be found under:

Hi @sogden  you can just check the timeline of the asset (see snapshot below). It lists jcr:created and jcr:createdBy properties of the asset.

For bulk viewing , use OOTB Asset report.
