A bulk user operation refers to an operation that is applied to more than one user. This operation was referred to in previous PaperCut releases as "Group level functions". Bulk user operations are best described by example.
John is a network administrator at a local high school. A number of students from each year level have been placed on the school newspaper committee. The head teacher has requested that John allocated an extra $10.00 of printing credit to these students. The students are all in a network group called "NewspaperCommittee". John performs this operation as follows:
Clicked the Bulk user actions link under the Users section.
Selected NewspaperCommittee as the group to perform the action on.
Selected the Adjust credit by option and entered $10.00 in the amount field.
Entered a transaction comment of "extra allowance for newspaper committee role".
Clicked the button to apply the change.
The bulk user operation applies changes to all users in the selected group. Settings under the Groups section or shared accounts are not affected.
Group level operations are one-way and cannot be undone. Always carefully consider the operation before proceeding. If you are unsure of the function or behaviour, performing a backup prior to undertaking the operation is advised.
Other bulk user operations available under Bulk user actions include:
Adjust or set the users' credit (perform a transaction).
Change the users' restriction status
Modify account selection popup options
Reset the users' count statistics
