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.
AI-generated summary
The discussion Revoke moderators in bulk started with tpetrov asking if it’s possible to revoke moderator privileges in bulk, as removing them from the moderators group doesn’t work. ondrej found a relevant feature request and shared a link to a similar topic on meta discourse, but currently, there is no way to do this in bulk. bloomexperiment explained that the moderators group is automatic and doesn’t work the other way around. sam suggested using the API to achieve this, and MihirR offered to provide a Python script to revoke moderation via the API, which can be found in the Admin Settings.
Hi Toni,
I did some searching and found this:
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.
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.
