Answer 2

Dear Emily, Thanks for your quick response. We require who added the people in specific SharePoint groups of the document. For Example: we create one document library for the particular project 'ABC'. For that we also created different groups with different permission levels. Only owners can be able to add/delete the members in group. So, if we have more than two people in owners, both can be able to add/delete the users. Q: which owner added/ deleted the user in the group of that particular document of the project. Thanks in advance.
