Users

Dear all

I have created more than 600 test users for my project and now I have to
delete them.
It is weariful to delete one by one.
Is there a way to delete these users in bulk?
Any help is wellcome

Hi Nelson,

We disallow bulk deletion because we have observed people making mistakes
in the past that are hard to recover from. You can bulk archive/deactivate
users by following the steps here

Hey nelson,

I just confirmed and you should be able to just deactivate these test
users instead of delete. Only 'active' users count towards the subscription
limit for mobile workers. Check out the link that Cory sent to do this
action in bulk.
