How to find the person who created a specific SharePoint List

Hello Community,

 

I would like your help on steps to identify the Author(creator) of a SharePoint list. I don't this info is available in the UI. 

 

Also Get-SPweb command is not working for SharePoint online. 

 

Kindly provide me a PowerShell command to fetch the List Author for a list under SharePoint Online list.

    SaiRamPenumatsa You can try using the SharePoint API as shown below. You'll just need to change the TENANT, NAME_OF_SITE and LIST_TITLE.

     

    https://TENANT.sharepoint.com/sites/NAME_OF_SITE/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('LIST_TITLE')/Author/Title

     

    If you don't want the title of the author, you can also use /Email /LoginName or /UserPrincipalName, etc.
