The Bulk Update Users feature under User Management can be used to update multiple user accounts at one time.
This feature can be used to update user information such as email, first name, last name, display name, PPID, paraeducator status, Emergency Certification settings, and Act 48 exclusion settings.
Bulk Update Users is especially helpful when updating PPID numbers, identifying paraeducators, setting Emergency Certification information, or excluding multiple users from Act 48 submissions to PERMS.
To begin, go to User Management > Bulk Update Users and follow the onscreen instructions.
To update users:
- Select Download All Users
- Open the downloaded CSV file
- Make the needed changes in the appropriate columns
- Save the revised CSV file
- Upload the revised CSV file
When making changes to the CSV file, do not remove or rearrange the columns or headers. Do not remove or change the email address listed in the first column unless you are intentionally updating that user's email address. The email address in the first column is used to locate and update the user within the portal.
When the update is complete, the user who completed the bulk update will receive a summary email.
