Hi @Hareesha ,

You can go the list view of the UI Actions and check if the created by is either Admin or system.

Hi @Hareesha ,
How about just checking the values of "Created By" field?
If they are "admin" or "mainte" (or any other built-in user), then I think they would be from OOTB.
If not, they are Custom UI actions, I think,,,

Thanks!

Hi,

 

In the navigator type: sys_update_xml.list and hit enter

In here you can see all customizations for configuration records.

In the "Name" column type: sys_ui_action and hit enter.

Then you can right click on the "Target Name" column and click "Group by Target Name"
Then you have all the UI Actions (names) that have been customized.

 

From each of the records you can click "Show related record" in the "Related Links" to get into the UI Action record itself

 

You cant expect that Maint, Admin or similar are the only "OOB" UI Actions.

For ex, I have 1 custom UI Action though there are 90 different "Created by" users.
