Similarly to Bulk Update roles and permissions, you can export, activate, and deactivate an audience from the Users page using the Users page filters. 

Keep in mind that only Brand Super Admins or users with permission to manage Creator Studio users can perform bulk updates for users. Community Admins can use filters, but they won't have the ability to bulk update users.

Note: Very large jobs need time to execute. For example, it can take between 5 and 10 minutes for a bulk update to be processed for 1000 users.

Users Page Filters

The Users page has filters that let you select all users who belong to an audience that needs bulk action. 

In addition to audiences, the users list can be filtered by permissions, status, and role. One, multiple, or all filters can be applied at once. 

• Permissions: This will filter the users who are assigned these permissions. The Permissions filter focuses on explicitly granted permissions only. It does not display users who have access via an All Topics assignment or an Unrestricted role. For example, you cannot use the filter to see “everyone who can publish to the HR topic.” You can only use the filter to see “everyone who has been explicitly assigned the HR topic.”

  Note that the permissions filter will only return users with assigned permissions, so users with roles that have “No Restrictions” enabled will not be displayed in a list filtered by permissions.

  • Topics: Filters all users assigned the selected topic(s).
  • Audiences: Filters all users assigned the selected audience(s).
  • Templates: Filters all users assigned the selected template(s).
  • Email Aliases: Filters all users assigned the selected email alias(es).
  • Author Aliases: Filters all users assigned the selected author alias(es).
• Status: Filters users who have the selected member experience status.
• Role: Filters users who have been assigned the selected Creator Studio role.
• Audiences: Filter users who are in the selected audience.

The system uses OR logic within each filter. For instance, if you choose multiple roles from the Role filter, such as Content Creator and Content Publisher, the list of users will include those who have either the Content Creator or Content Publisher role.

However, if you select multiple filters, the system will use OR logic within each filter and AND logic for additional filters. For example, if you choose multiple roles from the Role filter, such as Content Creator and Content Publisher, and then choose both HR and Education from the Audiences filter, the list will contain users who have the Content Creator OR Content Publisher role AND are assigned the HR OR Education audience.

Filtering by Text Search

Search text can be entered to select specific users to be bulk updated. Note, however, that search text acts as a temporary filter, and only displayed users will be updated. If some selected users are not returned by the current search, then these users will not be updated.

When selecting multiple users by searching, clear the search text before applying bulk updates.
