Hi,

We’re looking for a way to clean up the community - remove inactive users from groups, in bulk.  
Is there a non-query way to do it?  
Like an option to select many users in bulk and remove all of their group assignments?

Thanks!

Hello, Anat!

Can you define “inactive”?

You can select multiple users from a group like this:

But how to do it will mostly depend on how you identify these “inactive users”.

Thank you very much!  
We’ll need to remove users from several groups, so I was wondering if the same mechanism exists for the Admin User panel.

As far as I know, there isn’t such a mechanism in the admin panel.

[Administrative Bulk Operations](https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrative-bulk-operations/118349) has examples that might help.
