When a user is marked as suspended from the UI, the backend updates the suspended_at and suspended_till fields in the user table. I have 500 users whose profiles need to be marked as suspended. I’m planning to retrieve these user IDs based on their group ID and set the suspended_at field to: current…

I think you would need to do this either through the API or using the rails console. Are you familiar with either of these options?

Yes i am planning to do this using rails console

Figure out how to get the users and then use update_all. I think ChatGPT can tell you pretty well

Thank you so much everyone. I always find it pretty cool to see replies. Big love!
