What:

I wish I can upload users to role, using .csv file. Meaning, I have .csv file where I have following data:

User 1,role 1

User 2,role 1

User 3,role 1

and so on.

When I upload file to the platform it automatically adds role 1 for those users.

Why:

Usecase 1: There are situations when I set up hidden child category and I have to grant access to the certain users. Maybe up to 50-100-1000 users. Adding users easily to role is mandatory, because role grants the access.

Usecase 2: Now when we have Email Campaigns feature and emails can be sent to certain role I would like to easily to set up group of people who gets email. Maybe up to 50-100-1000 users or so.

With usecase 1 & 2, I have list of needed users already in .csv file and I update it “all the time”.

This improvement leads to:

Uploading users to the role saves time, I mean a lot. Just think about you have to add certain role to 500 users, or 1000 users, manually. It is impossible. 

Hi @revote, they way the bulk action to change the user role is set up, is that you can only select the (max. 100) users on that page. This means that if you have applied some filters and this results to 1.000 users, you’d have to go through 10 pages to do this.

Were you already aware of this bulk action the user overview? If so, is the main pain point that you would have to go page-by-page for more than 100 users?

Thanks. Yes, I am aware of this.

My use case is that I cant find correct users by filtering the user base. Users I want to role is kinda special users and that is the reason they are in my csv. file. They cant be filtered in Control in any ways.

Maybe @Daniele Cmty need this also, because of this post. He is using Zapier for this.

But, even if they can be found by filtering, you still have to go trough multiple pages.

Hi @revote, we won’t be able to build a native functionality for this in the foreseeable future since we have other roadmap priorities, so I’m closing this idea. Thanks for sharing, and keep ‘em coming! 

@revote alternatively it’s possible to bulk-assign roles to hundreds/thousands of users with Zapier & a Google Sheet. A bit tricky to figure out at first but very doable :)

Okay, thanks. This is sad, but of course I understand.

Yeah, that is a workaround. Sadly we dont use Zapier in our company, least yet 😃
