We have a log entry for:
> **Staff User:** [Users Name]
> **Action:** export entity
> **Subject:** user\_archive
The user listed is not actually a staff member, so the log is incorrect in that regard. It’s a new user who just signed up.
Also, what specific user action triggers that log entry as I haven’t seen it before?

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.
That’s all. LOL.

I see. This may be @techapj’s bug? We added logging to exports and this might be in that code path.

This feature was actually added by @vinothkannans in:

Ah yes my bad @vinothkannans probably your bug. Not all exports are staff…

I don’t know as I would call it a bug instead of outdated UI - unless there are plans to have a non-staff logs page.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”.

Agree with @Mittineague here. We log other non-staff actions like username changes. A header change seems simplest.
