Ability to see who made a given change in the audit log?

In the Audit Log for Confluence, we can see what change was made but not who made it. This is apparent from the change description but we wonder if it might be possible to surface this as a new "Event Creator" column, for example.

Hi @Robert Dawson ,

in the Audit log there is a specific column for the user that performed the change

Isn't it?

Thanks, Fabio, for clarifying that. I had been interpreting the User column as the affected user or part of the application in the case of a "System" user, as opposed to the responsible party or application-level event.

Also for context about my initial question, some changes we see in our log involve events related to a new user and this user appears under the User column. Yet, it seems unlikely that this user made this change. For example, we see an event that involves "audit.logging.com.atlassian.confluence.security.ContentPermission.getType" and we assume the system handled this as part of creating this new user's account.
