Which user management experience do you have?
To check, go to your organization at admin.atlassian.com and select Directory. If the Users and Groups lists are found here, then you are using the centralized user management. Learn more about the centralized user management
We’ll note these changes in the support documentation below.

As a site administrator or organization admin, Users is found under Product site. | As an organization admin, Users is found under Directory tab. |
If you need a list of your organization’s users—for auditing purposes, for example—you can Export managed accounts, or export your user list in CSV format from the user management screen.
Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
This step is different depending on your user management experience:
- Original:Select the site's name and URL to open the Admin for that site, then select Users.

We’ll email you when your CSV file is ready to download. Check your junk or spam folder if it’s taking awhile.
Open the email and select Download CSV file. If you’re not logged in, you may need to log in before the download will begin.
The first row of the CSV spreadsheet are column headings. Everything below this is your organization’s data.
This image is an example of the data in the CSV with both Additional data boxes ticked: Group membership and Product access. This example is without the option Pivot to column selected.
This image is an example of the data in the CSV with Pivot to column selected. You can see the column Group membership is now Group name and we’ve expanded the data to a column instead of a comma-separated list. There is also a new column with Group id.
