Abilitiy to perform Mass Deactivations via CSV by including a status qualifier for LMS

Currently, the import user through CSV allows for the usable fields like First Name, Last Name Email, City, Location, etc.

What this feature is severly lacking is the Status field.

The closest thing that exist to this is scrolling through the list of users and checking them off one by one in order for a mass deactivation button to appear. Having to manually select anywhere between 100-500 users on a 1 by 1 basis is very time consuming and simply not efficient.

When dealing with 100's to 1000's of users at a time, It would be much more efficient if the system would have the ability to read a 'Status' field from an uploaded a CSV file (much like the proccess for importing multiple users at once). This would allow for a much more efficient and time saving method of switching 100's to 1000's of account status's to active or inactive as a mass action.

    Hi Drew,

    I see the same as you,the mass actions to become active when you have to have multiple users selected on the users page as you know. We have over 3000 active users on a regular basis and will at times make activation/deactivation changes in the hundreds.

    It would be more efficient to upload a csv list of 100-500+ users through the import user feature with a column to change their account status to either active or inactive as a mass function instead of having to search for individual accounts 1 by 1 to check them off as you go in order to create the list of users.

    Furthermore, it would seem that you can only manage mass actions on the page that is displayed. Selecting a user on the current page and then progressing to the next, or searching for a user through filters, will uncheck any previously selected users as the page updates.

    In my portal, when I select (tick) more than one user, I have ability to Deactivate or Activate.

    I'm curious what you might mean, or why you say you're "only able to select users 1 by 1"

We can update every user field (including custom fields) using the Update Existing Users toggle in the Import User screen. However, there is no way to update many users' status from active to inactive or deactivate the users based on a CSV identif...
