Editing users in bulk in Users & Compliance (classic UI)

Use a CSV file to change signature data for many users at once in Users & Compliance. To choose between this and the other ways to edit user data, see Choosing how to edit user data.

  1. Create a CSV file with username and the field, or fields, you want to edit. The column headers should match the field names in your signature, and all field names must be lowercase.

    A spreadsheet with the columns username and phone, and four users' new phone numbers
  2. In the Signatures menu, select Users & Compliance.

  3. On the left of the page, select Sync Tools.

    The Users and Compliance search panel, with Advanced Options, Filter by CSV, and Sync Tools below it
  4. Under Bulk CSV Sync, select Choose File, and choose your file. Make sure that the spreadsheet is saved as a CSV file.

  5. Select Sync CSV.

    The message CSV looks OK, above the Sync CSV button
  6. When the sync is finished, refresh the browser.

  7. Check that the sync worked, by looking for your changes in Users & Compliance.

A few CSV commands make bulk changes to a whole column. Add them after the field name in the column header, in the format field-command:

-locked
Locks all the field data in the column (for example, title-locked).
-unlocked
Unlocks all the field data in the column (for example, name-unlocked).
-nosync
Breaks the sync on all the field data in the column (for example, phone-nosync).
