hello.

before this retirement (https://github.blog/changelog/2026-03-16-deprecating-the-cost-center-integration-on-the-enterprise-people-page/), i was using the CSV export from the enterprise section to review and discover users which were invited to an organization, but not yet associated to a cost center. given the cost center reference has been completely removed from all possible places, which other way i have to discover users without a cost center affiliation?

i could certainly try to add them "in blind" and if the user does not come up it means the invite is pending or expired. but to navigate to various cost centers and try individual luck there is not productive at all (i could have 10 users to add on 5 cost centers, and only 3 can actually be added because they accepted the invite. for rest i'll have to manually check and redo later). or i can check the pending or expired invites or audit logs across org, then crosscheck with the CSV export . not productive either.

Thank you!

There’s no direct replacement for this after cost centers were removed, so you can’t get the same “unassigned users” view anymore.

The closest alternatives are:

Organization -> People -> Invitations
Shows all pending/expired invites, so you can tell which users haven’t accepted yet.
Enterprise/Org people export
Still useful to list users and identify who is active vs pending (but no cost center info anymore).
Audit log (or API)
You can track invite vs join events, or use the API (/orgs/{org}/invitations and /members) to script your own check.

You now have to rely on invite status (pending vs active) instead of cost center assignment. There’s currently no single view that replaces the old workflow.

thank you. Looks like I'll have to build some automation around it.
