To help you keep track of the users that have access to your developer account, you can export a list of all users with access and their assigned permissions as a CSV file. This can be helpful if you want to audit which of your team members have a specific permission, for example.
Export a full user list
If you're the account owner, here's how you can export a full list of users with access to your developer account:
- Open the Users and permissions page in Play Console.
- Click Export user list to download your CSV.
Configure your user list
You can use the search box and filter at the top of the page to configure which users are displayed in the table and included in the CSV that you want to export. This helps you to easily export user lists based on specific permissions, the apps that they have access to, invitation status or other search terms such as email domain or name.
If you’re an account owner or administrator, the CSV will contain information about all apps in your account. If you’re an admin but not an account owner or administrator, you’ll only see information about the apps for which you’re an admin. This ensures continued account privacy and security.
CSV format
Your downloaded CSV contains the following columns and fields:
Column/field | Description |
---|---|
|
The user’s email address |
Status |
The status of the user’s invitation. This can be:
|
Expiry time |
The date when access will expire for users who only have access for a limited time. |
Invitation time |
The date that the user was last invited to join your developer account. This field is not populated after an invitation is accepted. |
App permissions |
A list of each app that the user has access to, and which app-specific permissions they have. This is in the following format: {com.exampleApp1:PERMISSION_1;PERMISSION2};{com.exampleApp2:PERMISSION_1;PERMISSION3} |
Account permissions |
A list of every account-level permission that the user has. These apply to your whole developer account, account-level features such as Play Games services or every app within your account. |
App permissions
App permissions are limited to the specified app only. For example, a user with 'CAN_MANAGE_ORDERS' for com.exampleApp1 cannot see or refund orders from com.exampleApp2
The table below lists the names that app permissions are given in the CSV export, what they’re called in Play Console interface, and a description of what they do.
