Updating users in bulk allows you to apply changes to multiple records at once, saving time and ensuring consistency in the information.
1º Accessing the user administration module:
In the lower-left side menu, click on “Users”.

This section displays all registered users, allowing you to view details and manage files linked to each one.
2º Applying filters to select users:
To perform bulk editing, first filter the users who will be affected:
- Click the “Filter” button represented by the funnel icon in the header of the user list.
- In the filter panel, configure Field, Operator, and Value according to the desired criteria (for example: Permission Level = “User”).
- Click “Apply” to display only the users who meet the criteria.

3º Starting Bulk Editing:
- With the users filtered, click the “Bulk Update” button represented by the copy/duplicate icon, located in the header near the “Clear Filters” and “Bulk Deletion” buttons.
- The bulk editing panel will be displayed, containing fields to determine which attributes will be updated for all selected users.

4º Configuring the fields to be updated:
In the bulk editing panel, select the attributes you want to change for all users:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email
- Phone
- Mobile Phone
- Job Title
- Permission Level (Administrator, Manager, User, External User, Restricted User, Inspector)
- Custom Fields (if applicable): enter new values for the desired fields

5º Executing the update:
- After configuring all fields, click “Save Data” in the lower corner of the window.
- A notification will appear in the lower-left corner indicating that the bulk update was successfully completed.
- The user list will automatically reload.
- Verify that all selected users had their fields updated as configured.
- Carefully filter before selecting users, ensuring that only the correct profiles are modified.
- Review the configuration in the bulk editing panel before saving to avoid unintended changes.
- Limit the scope of editing to a specific group to reduce risks.
- Create backups or export the list before making major changes to allow possible reversal.
- Inform the team about the changes to maintain transparency.
