Revoke moderators in bulk

[tpetrov (Toni Petrov)]

Is there a way to revoke moderators in bulk? When I try to remove them from the moderators group it doesn’t work, so I need to go to each user via admin and revoke.

Hi Toni,

I did some searching and found this:

Bulk edit users - remove moderator privilege

Thanks, it did the trick For anyone needing this, here is the full procedure. ./launcher enter app # rails c # User.where(moderator: true).update_all(moderator: false)

However, in the /admin/users/list/active there currently isn’t a way to do this. There is a feature request linked below that seems relevant.

Bulk Action on Users

from the admin control panel, being able to select multiple users and doing one or more of the following: Deactivating their account Grant Admin Grant Moderator Lock Trust Level Suspend a user Silence a user

I’d also like something similar too and since there is already a bulk select option albeit just for deleting users hopefully it can be expanded on in the future.

Yeah unfortunately this won’t work since the moderators group (like other staff groups) is automatic. It updates the group automatically when you add/remove moderator privileges, but doesn’t work the other way around.

Yeah only way I can think about doing this in bulk would be via the api

Just go to Admin Settings and find the endpoint to revoke moderation and a python script can be your friend. In case you need the script please let me know I’m not on my pc rn or would have attached the same.
