This article reviews user bulk actions. It goes over how to use bulk actions to manage users, and which bulk actions are available for each user role.
Overview
User bulk actions allow you to select a group of users in your school and perform certain actions to that group of users. These actions include things like enrolling into a course, unenrolling from a course, emailing, or deleting users. Bulk actions can help you save time by enabling you to manage groups of users in your school in mass.
You can perform user bulk actions to all users in your school, or you can use the help of user filters to help you sort and group your users based on certain criteria.
The type of bulk actions available will vary based on the type of user you are performing the action on.
Selecting users and using bulk actions
To select a group of users in your school:
- Navigate to your Users tab.
- You can then select the Students, Admins, or Affiliates tab, depending on the user type you are looking for.
- Use the checkboxes next to each user name to select users from the list.
- If you’d like to select all users on the page, use the checkbox at the top of the Name column. If there is more than one page of users, you will then have the option to select all users.
Once you have checked off all users, you can click the Bulk Actions drop down menu at the top of your users list to select a bulk action to perform. The type of bulk actions available will vary based on the user type you have selected.
