Solution:

If a user created or deleted a folder in the Spotfire Library, is there a way to find who the user was?
In the Spotfire Server’s /tomcat/logs folder you will find the library.log file. Within this file you can see activities from the library.

Here is an example of the “admin” creating a folder called “Test_Folder”
10.17.19.9;;admin;2017-03-03T10:11:58,637-0800;Item saved;Test_Folder;spotfire.folder;0;a101eccb-3087-4a36-9fdf-032a1896a0d4

Here is an example of the user “andrew” deleting the same folder called “Test_Folder”:
10.17.19.9;;andrew;2017-03-03T10:12:45,889-0800;Item deleted;Test_Folder;spotfire.folder;0;a101eccb-3087-4a36-9fdf-032a1896a0d4
