Mass editing users
The Mass Edit screen allows you to mass update a user status, delete local users, reset passwords, change user license, change viewer license, update web scanning license, and add or remove users to groups.
In order to make mass updates, users must first be selected on the Users page. Use the check boxes next to the user name or use the Shift or Ctrl keys on your keyboard to select multiple users, or select the top-level check box in the check box column to select all users.
The number of licenses available are displayed in green. If there are not enough licenses to update all the selected users, the number is displayed in red. In this case, you cannot update the user accounts.
After you have mass edited the users, a summary page is shown summarizing the changes that were made. If sufficient licenses are available, the license count are highlighted in green. If the number is not sufficient, it is highlighted in red.
To mass edit users
- Go to Administration > User Management > Users.
- In the Users list screen, use the check boxes or the Shift and/or Ctrl keys to select multiple users. To select all users, select the top-level check box.
Use the filters in the column headers to get a list of the users that require updating, then select the top-level check box to select all users.
- Click Mass edit. If sufficient licenses are available, the license count is highlighted in green. If the number is not sufficient, it is highlighted in red. You can still perform the action if there are not sufficient licenses. The following functions are available from the User mass edit screen:

Description |
|---|---|
|
Update user status |
Enabled or Disabled When an employee joins or leaves an organization they need to have a user account enabled or disabled. In other situations, users may continue to work for an organization but simply no longer need access to FileHold. Enabling and disabling user accounts lets the Systems Administrator create and disable user access to the system without having to delete user accounts. When a user no longer requires access to the system the user account can be easily disabled. Disabling idle user accounts frees up a license for another user. By default, when a user is created in the system, the account is enabled. You need to enable a user account if they have exceeded the number of login attempts set in FileHold. |
|
Delete user |
Deleting a user from the system removes any ownership of the deleted user's documents, folders or cabinet ownership. It is recommended to not delete a user if you wish to maintain the account in case the user ever needs access to FileHold again. Instead, you should disable a user account. This way the account can be re-enabled in the future. The actual user account is never deleted - the user name is internally represented by a GUID that exists perpetually in the system. Deleting a user action cannot be undone. It is recommended that you disable user accounts instead of deleting them. If you must delete the user account, be sure to use the Change Document Owner and Change Cabinet/Folder Owner features in the library administration area to give the cabinets, folders, and documents a new owner. See the Library Administration Guide for more information. |
