GAFE - Bulk User editing/suspending

[CHR1S]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a simple way to suspend a whole class for example the leavers?

 

Something as simple as select all and suspend seems to be beyond google.

 

Thanks

You can select more than one user in the OUs in the Google Apps admin console. Click the first user you want to select, move to the last user you want to select and click while holding down shift - all users in that range are then selected as they would be in any other environment, like Explorer, Excel etc. Once users are selected, you can bulk suspend/move them using the icons at the top.

 

I really wish the admin console on Google Apps would allow sorting via anything other than Username though - I would like to sort things via access date etc.

 

It does seem Google would prefer you use third party admin scripts or apps using their APIs. Which is painful when you want to do something fairly basic.

I didnt even notice that you can click the users avatar and it turns into a checkbox, how effing stupid is that!!

Just put a check box, im an Admin not an end user who cares about nice aesthetics

 

Edit - you can only delete accounts when multiples are selected.... bloody useless.

I agree, it was a horrendous change. The old interface and general UX was far better.
