    How to find the user that added the index on a specific table?

    Thanks

    It might be in the default trace. Other than that, no way.

    I don't think there is a way to find out WHO created it, but you can see WHEN it was created:

    select

    crdate,

    i.name,

    object_name(o.id)

    from

    sysindexes i

    join sysobjects o ON o.id = i.id

    order by

    crdate desc

    Other then that, in the future, you can create a DDL trigger to monitor and log anytime an Index is created or modified.

    here is a link that provides a little more information: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/01/31/capturing-index-operations-using-a-ddl-trigger.aspx
