    Only if you have Auditing enabled. This will give you date and time but not the reason or the user. User will be logged if you have NBAC configured.

Hi Ivan,

One other option is if you have Ops Center, there is an Alert Policy that will do just what you want.

It's the "Job Policy Change" alert (An alert is generated when one or more job policies change), and is listed under "Others" in the Alert Conditions.

I enable this as one of my default alerts, as I find it very useful.  I get an email when there is any change to a policy (change, add, delete, deactivate, etc).  It doesn't tell you who made the change, but it gives you the "what changed and when".

Hope that helps,

Steve
