First of all we are using Mattermost for years now so thanks for the hard work put into this great Project !
Now onto my question. I don’t know if it exists but i need a list of all users on our Mattermost Server piped into a file.
I know there is a way to do it with the API but since i am not a Programmer myself i thought maybe there is an easier way to get a list with all active users.
To be honest i am astound that the mattermost CLI can’t do that allready since it can list almost everything else.
When you mention that you would like to get the list of all active users besides the Get users API , the first thing that I can think of is to run the SELECT statement and pipe the output to a .txt file for example if you have access to the database. For example:
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE DeleteAt = 0 INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/users.txt";
You can change the * to include only information that you need such as Username, Email, etc.
Else, can you explain a little bit better on the ideal way of obtaining this information from your perspective, perhaps with more details and use case? Thanks!
Sorry about the late reply. Yeah i am pursuing a api way right now. Thank you for that.
I was just wondering that getting a user from the otherwise great command line tool isn’t possible since in my opinion that was the easiest way to do it.
