authentik enterprise allows you to export user and event data in CSV format for backup or analysis purposes.

The content included in a data export matches that returned by the API endpoints for the respective object types.

For detailed instructions on exporting users and events, see [Export users](../users-sources/user/user_basic_operations.md#export-users-) and [Export events](events/logging-events.mdx#export-events) respectively.

You can access past data exports from the **Events** > **Data Exports** page. On this page you can view the query used for a specific export, search exports by data type and user, download completed exports and delete exports that you no longer need.

## Permissions

Creating or viewing a data export requires [view permission](../users-sources/access-control/permissions.md) on the object type being exported in addition to the respective permission for data exports.
