KB: How-To A365 Workspace Members Bulk Addition and Deletion of Users

A365 A365
If there is a requirement to add multiple users to an Altium 365 workspace Workspace Members list, this can be done using a suitably formatted list of email addresses. If there is a requirement to remove multiple users from an Altium 365 workspace Workspace Members list, this is not possible, users must be removed manually and one at a time. There may be a small subset of contexts where bulk removal of users can be done by deactivating (deleting) a workspace, and then creating (activating) a new one.

Solution Details

Removal of Multiple Users from the Workspace Members List
If the workspace needs to remain intact after removal of the users, then there is is no ability to remove multiple users at the same time. Each user will need to be removed individually: in the Workspace Members list, for each user to be removed, at the right-hand side of the listed user click the Trash-can icon, in the asserted Delete "User" dialog click the [Delete] button to process the removal of the user from the Workspace Members list.

If the workspace does not need to remain intact, that is it can be deleted, then consideration can be made towards deactivation of the workspace, and then creating a new workspace with a new Workspace Members list. This may be applicable to a small subset of contexts, such as educational (class subject) curriculums or for workspace testing purposes.
