How do I determine who created an Image in Google Compute Engine?

[deepsurface]

I have a large number of images in https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/images?tab=images and don't know how they got there...how do I determine who created them?

Hello @deepsurface  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Images mentioned by you have been created automatically by Google. Please see screenshot below:

Red marked image has been created by me, Blue marked has been by default created by Google. You can describe images created by you with this command

 gcloud compute images describe IMAGE_NAME
