We have some database data stores that were created a while back and don't know the exact user who created them. But we know none of the current users created them. How can we figure out who created them? And if they are no longer working with us, how can we delete the data store? This is when a publisher goes to server manager - then site- then data store- and chooses database and uploads and SDE file.
go to your server directories and browse to config-store\data\enterpriseDatabases and find the SDE you would like to check. Then within the directory of your SDE there should be file called "lifecycleinfos.json".
Open JSON and you shall see the username of a person who created this.
