Is there a way to export a full list of current users from the application?
Hi Alex,
Yes, please see the 'user activity' report in Enterprise setup.
Thank you,

Thank you. I do not see instruction for retrieving/exporting a full list of users. Perhaps this can be done through an export?
Hi Alex,
Yes, please check the 'user activity' export in your Enterprise setup area. That will pull a list of all users.
Thank you,
