Abstract

Various embodiments of the disclosed technology can obtain information about associations between users (e.g., user accounts) of a content management system and applications compatible with the content management system. Various embodiments can also obtain information about a plurality of attributes associated with usage of the content management system by the users (e.g., user accounts).
