$Obj->creator()

Works exactly the same as $Obj->author(), but looks for a createdBy field instead of a userId field. If no createdBy field is found, userId is used.

This is only useful when you change the userId after content has been created. You might do this in a scenario where you are "assigning" a piece of content to another user.

In most cases, this will be the same as $Obj->author().
