You can download a list of users using a bulk action.
- Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Bulk user actions.
- Select the users you wish to download as a list (you may need to filter if you have a large number of users on your site).
- Click Add to selection.
- Select Download from the With selected users dropdown.
- Click Go.
- Choose the format you want to use for the user list.
- Click Download.
You will not be automatically taken away from this page so you can either navigate away yourself, or you could repeat steps 6 and 7 above, choosing another format for the list of users.
When selecting users to include in the download, you can select multiple users using the CTRL (or CMD) key on your keyboard.
Users can be filtered according to full name, surname, first name, email address, city/town, country, confirmed, first access, last access, last login, username, and authentication.
If you have set a custom profile field, this will also be available from the Profile dropdown box.
