Content by User Macro

Add the Content by User macro to a page to display a list of all the things created by a particular user including spaces, pages, blog posts, comments, attached files, and even user accounts. 

This is a legacy macro, and doesn't provide any way to limit the amount of information displayed. This means it can cause timeouts if the user specified has created a lot of content. 

Advanced search is a much better way to find all content created by a specific person.
