So that admins can easily review and deal with inactive users, a column listing Inactive users would be very helpful, and also give a clue as to their potential existence.

I just spent about 20 minutes figuring out how to export a list of all users, sort it by the right columns, to see who’s in our system and still waiting approval.

What would it take to make this a button in the Discourse Admin?

You can do this right now with [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566)

It’d be simple as

`SELECT username, active FROM users`

Or whatever columns you like; there’s loads. Then click the _Download as CSV_ button.
