 * On Multisite, the Rank Export feature is exporting users from all subsites.
 * Fresh test install, per subsite activated.
 * Is this intended behavior?

 * Hi [@froggod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/froggod/)
 * No, what you describe is not a security issue
 * This happens because even on multisite there is only 1 database for your users(
   posts or comments are separated per site, but users do not get splitted in this
   way)
 * For that at the moment you use any of our tools, all users will appear
 * Hope it helps!

 * I understand that multisite shares a user table, but this is still a security
   issue because any admin on a subsite can download a file containing emails for
   all users across the network.
 * This is a huge problem for gdpr and just not good in general. There are ways 
   to only pull user data from individual subsites even though they’re sharing the
   same tables.

 * Hi [@froggod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/froggod/)
 * Your are right, I didn’t think about it in the way you mention so I just added
   this change to our roadmap to only export users from the site the tool gets executed
 * Thank you so much for your suggestion and help us make GamiPress better!
