Show triggering user in audit logs for entities created via self-service actions
K

Problem
When a self-service action creates another entity, the audit log shows the entity as being created by Port automation. While the action run itself contains the triggering user’s information, that context is not surfaced in the audit log.
This makes it difficult to:
- Trace ownership and accountability
- Understand who initiated changes when reviewing audit logs
- investigate issues without jumping between audit logs and action runs
Current behavior
- Audit log entry: Type “Port automation”
- Triggering user is only visible in the self-service action run details
Expected behavior
Audit logs should display the user who triggered the self-service action as the creator of any entities created by that action (or at least include them as additional context, e.g. “Created by Port automation (triggered by @username)”).
