Administrators can bulk-edit certain user details.
Editing in bulk can save significant time if you are making the same change
to multiple users. For example, if you wanted to assign a different enterprise
role to a group of users.
Note: Text fields
do not support hyperlinks or other HTML formatting.
To bulk-edit user information:
- On the Administration Home
page, under Users, click User List.
The Enterprise User List displays.
Note: If you used the Quick Filters earlier in your current
session, any values you selected are still in effect. To view a complete
list of users reset the filters. For more information about using the
Quick Filters, see About User
List Quick Filters.
- Select the users you want
to edit.
- In the Checked Item Actions
menu, click Bulk-Edit Users.
The Bulk-Edit Enterprise Users window opens.
- Edit the field(s) you want
to update for all the users.
- To indicate that a field should be updated, select the box next to the field name:
Only selected fields are updated. Fields that are not selected will
not be updated, even
if you have made changes to values for those fields.
- If you select a
field and leave the field value empty, the edit will clear that field
for all selected users.
If the empty value is not valid, a message displays when
you attempt to save the edits.
- Fields that cannot be bulk-edited are labeled Not
Available for Bulk Edit and do not have a selection box next to their name:
- Editing billing
rates has implications for in-progress, on-hold, and not-yet-started workspaces
that are using that rate. For information about editing billing rates,
see Editing User Billing Rates
in Bulk.
- A list of selected
users displays on the left side of the window.
If you decide you do not want to make the changes to one of the selected
users, clear the box next to that user name.
If you want to add additional users, click Add
More Users and select the users you want to include in the bulk
edit.
- Click Save
to save the edits to the selected users, or Cancel
to cancel the edits.
- The edits are made and
a status message displays:
- If the edits can
be made on all the selected users, the status message tells you this.
- If any of the edits
cannot be made for specific users (for example, if you attempt to change
the role of the only administrator in the enterprise), no edits for that user are saved (the user is left unchanged). The status message
tells you how many users were successfully updated, and which users were
not.
