Search user profiles with bulk email addresses and manage roles

Hi,

 

Is there any way where we can Search community for user profiles registered with list of email addresses from a file. If user profile found then change or manage the roles in mass? Any api or any possible way?

 

Thanks,

Sunil_GA

    If you have sufficient permissions (i.e. Admin or moderator), you can search for users by e-mail address in the user search. Though if you have a lot of users, that could become pretty tedious.

     

    For a more programattic approach, there is a restapi method to retreive a user by e-mail address:

     

    /restapi/vc/users/email/[email]

    From there, you can obtain the user id and/or login name for each user.

     

    Once you have the user id and/or login name, you have a few different approaches...

    1. You can continue using the REST API to add the roles:  
      /restapi/vc/roles/name/[role_name]/users/add?role.user=/users/id/[user_id]

       

    2. Or, you can use the role import feature in the admin: Community Admin > Users > Import Roles

    I hope this helps!
