True...but (absent PM) that can only be the creator.
 
The question didn't ask "what commands check that you are the creator",
(SAVE doesn't check ... as we've demonstrated)
but "Which MPE commands can only be executed by a file's creator?".

Not without using PM of some kind, as far as I can tell.
 
Of course, another useless answer is: *any* commands ... they might refuse
to work if you aren't the creator ... but you were able to *execute* the
command ... it just happened to return an error instead of doing something
else. :)
