Who updated the List/Library Columns

Question

This is about governance of SharePoint site.. The owners of the SharePoint site are playing with the site and create tickets when they mess it up.. Worst they are playing with the Production sites..

Example:

There was a rule on a number field with Min = 1 and Max = 6, they changed it to Min = 0.3 and Max = 0.6 and created ticket that entering number 1 in the field isn't working..

I don't want to hear about stopping rights or letting them understand the results of their action.. We are working on it..

For now is there a possibility that I can know who updated the List column? or who made the List changes?

Just like this question, but its not an SPFile in this case, does the SPList object has these properties? SharePoint 2010 - last modified by who

If not, what alternatives do I have?

UPDATE

I don't have Central Administration rights on Production server.

Answer 1

You can turn on Auditing and look into Audit Log Reports for such events. Following events are available, which can be turned on/off.

• Opened and downloaded documents, viewed items in lists, or viewed item properties (This event is not available for SharePoint Online sites) • Edited items • Checked out and checked in items • Items that have been moved and copied to other location in the site collection • Deleted and restored items • Changes to content types and columns • Search queries • Changes to user accounts and permissions • Changed audit settings and deleted audit log events • Workflow events • Custom events

Perhaps someone has a better answer, but get a copy of the log files (pronto, before they're overwritten), and find out who was visiting:

/FldEdit.aspx?List={listguid}&Field=fieldname

or VldSetng.aspx?List={listguid} for validation settings

(Of course, you may need to visit those pages yourself to get the right guids)

The above is the edit page for the field. Of course, they could have visited the page without changing anything...
