2.5.21 How to bulk-manage users on the Project Users tab?

On the project Users tab select multiple existing users and Assign (Checklist/RFI), Remove (Checklist/RFI), Edit (Role/Access/Permissions via side drawer) or Delete in bulk. Only changed fields apply; existing assignments stay; Associate (view-only) users skipped; sole-approver users skipped on delete.

Overview

On a project's Users tab you can select several existing users at once and manage them together โ€” assign or remove their checklist/RFI access, edit their role/access/permissions, or delete them in bulk.

๐Ÿงญ How to use

  1. Open the project โ†’ Users tab.

  2. Tick the users you want (select multiple).

  3. A toolbar gives you four actions โ€” Assign, Remove, Edit, Delete:

Assign โ€” add access to the selected users:

  • Checklist

  • RFI

Remove โ€” take away access from the selected users:

  • Checklist

  • RFI

Edit โ€” opens a side drawer to update, for all selected users:

  • Role

  • Access

  • Permissions

Delete โ€” deletes the selected users in bulk. If a selected user is a sole approver, that user is skipped (not deleted), so no approval is left without an approver.

โš ๏ธ Important โ€” how bulk changes behave

For Edit (role / access / permissions): Only the fields you explicitly change are applied. Unselected fields stay unchanged for each user. Associate-role users are not affected โ€” they have view-only access.

For Assign & Remove: Only the current changes are applied. Existing checklist assignments stay unchanged. Associate-role users are not affected โ€” they have view-only access.

โ“ FAQ

What do the four bulk actions do? Assign adds checklist/RFI access ยท Remove takes checklist/RFI access away ยท Edit updates role/access/permissions ยท Delete removes the users.

Will bulk Edit overwrite everything? No โ€” only the fields you actually change are applied; every other field stays as it was for each user.

Will I lose existing checklist assignments when I Assign or Remove? No โ€” only the current change is applied; existing assignments stay unchanged.

What happens if I bulk-delete a user who is the only approver? That user is skipped โ€” they won't be deleted, so approvals don't break. Reassign the approver first, then delete.

Why aren't Associate users changing? Associate-role users have view-only access, so bulk actions don't affect them.

Can I edit just one user instead? Yes โ€” open that single user and edit as usual (see 2.5.16).

๐Ÿ’ก Good to know

  • Assign and Remove each work on Checklist and RFI access.

  • Edit changes Role, Access and Permissions from one side drawer.

  • A sole-approver user is always skipped on bulk delete.

  • Associate-role users are always skipped โ€” they're view-only.
