   Is there already a method built into WordPress that allows an administrator to call up all of the posts created by a specific author? Include any posts created under a custom post_types and drafts and so on.

   allows an administrator to call up all of the posts created by a specific author

   -- where will they need to "call up all the posts?"

   In any case, you'll probably need to create a new WP_Query and specify the author and post type:

   $author_args = array(
   	'author_name' => 'my_author_name',
   	'post_status' => 'any',
   	'post_type' => 'any'
   );
   $author_query = new WP_Query($author_args);
   
   // display results from $author_query
   if ( $author_query->have_posts() ) :
   	while ( $author_query->have_posts() ) : $author_query->the_post();
   		// custom markup goes here
   		// calling the_post() lets us use WP template tags like the_title()
   	endwhile;
   else :
   	// no posts found, maybe display an error message?
   endif;
   wp_reset_postdata();

   I see certainly a place where it would be useful : on the users.php page in the admin. Is there a hook to modify the value ?
