XF 2.0 Accessing the database for user information

[eaststandboy]

Hey

Is there anyway of accessing the foums database to view current users information?

We try to cross reference new registrations with current ones, to avoid multi users. Like email address, IP address.

Now with GDPR we don't want to record this information in a separate Spreadsheet so that any member that deletes there account, the data goes.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

You are allowed to record it if it is for use in managing your website

But what if the data is years old? And possibly members that left?

...and what happens if they re-join, you'll still be able to cross reference them.

You could use a program such as https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/

The danger is unless you know what you are doing you could easily damage a table or change data within it as you do not get prompted to see if you want to make a change, it just happens
