Summary
For reporting purpose, Confluence administrator might need to retrieve a list of Confluence users' timezone information, it is possible to do so by running the SQL query below against your database.
Solution
This query will give you the user's username and their time zone as defined in their User Profile, if a user has never changed their time zone settings in their profile then there is no information stored in the os_propertyentry table, so we manually added Site Default value to those users in the query below.
