Bulk user deletion for staff now available

Great to see some attention being given to bulk managment of a discourse user base, it’s a long time coming and needed. :+1:

Is there a plan to add more bulk options?

for example

  • Bulk De-Activate
  • Bulk Add-to-group

Large and long in the tooth userbases can have users who have not logged in for over a decade numbering the 1000’s, in some scenarios there is a value to keep for bulk management runs, so instead of deleting, a mass de-activation here would be more appropriate.

For example, I’m vibing off current user case based on this predicament here as I’d like to de-activate a ton of users so they are not triggering email alerts, but then in another use case, I might want to try target dormant accounts to try force mass re-activate to a ton of sleepers maybe to try lift user vibrancy and increase engagement out of the gutter!

Also a filter option to display user accounts by date-of-join, would by really helpful when wading through large userbases. I suppose requiring a date-of-join column, which leads me to another feature idea as I type.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot about the “created” column, if you could filter using the “created” timestamp using a period or date-range is what I mean.

Auto-Bulk management tools

  • add user bases into group by year from x date range. The net result is say 10 new year labeled groups from 2015 - 2005. I could use that feature right now

However, even having date-of-join filter and the right bulk command would still be a very quick and easy workflow. I’m just getting a little ahead of myself her.e

Anything and everything that helps bulk manage the user base is welcome!
