Title: How to identify the membership sign up contact for an organisation
ThreadText: # How to identify the membership sign up contact for an organisation
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2021-09-02)
  
  When a contact signs up for membership "on behalf of" an organisation, through a standard membership contribution page. The individual is then created with the employer/employee relationship to the organisation.
  
  If the organisation has several employee contacts in the database is there a way of identifying the contact that recorded the membership? Is that stored somewhere in the bowels of the db?

  For us it shows it as the 'added by contact' on the activities tab(s).
