How can I find out who created / edited / deleted a certain user?

I got a notification email that a new user has been created but I dont have any idea who made it.

Hook into the actions user_register, profile_update and delete_user, and inspect the current user. Use get_current_user_id() to get the acting user and use …

WP_User::get_data_by( 'id', get_current_user_id() );

… to get more data about the user creating or deleting the other user.

Thanks toscho. Problem here is that you can only get the data when they register/update/delete user. How about AFTER they do it? The user has already been created, I just want to know who did the registration. Thanks much! – user20493 Jan 30 at 8:03
You have to create a log. I will release plugin doing exactly this and much more soon. :) – toscho♦ Jan 30 at 8:04
