What’s weird about it? Any user can export all their posts / topics directly from their user page. This has existed as a default option for users since Discourse 1.1 as I recall… try it yourself.
Hey Jeff, the weird part is that the discourse logs list the user as being “staff user”, when they’re not staff. This concerned me as I thought some user had somehow gained staff rights, like admin or mod. I wondered if we had been hacked. But it looks like Discourse is just incorrectly describing the user as staff.
And because I saw the subject “user archive” and didn’t know exactly what that refers to, I was concerned that someone with staff-level rights had exported the forums full user list. Hense my question about what that log entry references.
I don’t know as I would call it a bug instead of outdated UI - unless there are plans to have a non-staff logs page.
To me there is no confusion between user_list and user_archive. What is incorrect is the left column head text - “Staff User”. I think the easy fix would be to simply change that (and the filter label) to “User”.
