Once your site has more than a few people on it, scrolling the Users list stops being practical. A quick search or a role filter finds the right account in seconds, and then you can tick several people at once to change or remove them together.

## Before you start

- You're signed in to your site's dashboard.
- Your account is allowed to see the list of users — Administrators can, most other roles can't.

## Steps

### Step 1: Find the person you're looking for

In the left-hand menu, click **Users**. Then type part of the person's name, username, or email address into the **Search Users** box and click the **Search Users** button — the first few letters are usually enough. To narrow the list instead of searching, click a role such as **Administrator** above the search box.

### Step 2: Change or remove them together

Tick the checkbox at the start of each row you want to work with, or the checkbox in the header row to take everyone currently shown. Open the **Bulk actions** dropdown and choose **Send password reset** or **Delete**, then click **Apply**.

### Step 3: Move them to another role

To change what those same people can do instead, choose the new role from the **Change role to…** dropdown and click **Change**. Their posts and pages stay with them either way.

## Tips

- While a search is running, the heading above the list reads **Search results for:** followed by what you typed.
- Click **All** above the list to clear a role filter without losing your search.
- Your ticks survive a fresh search or role filter, so you can build up a selection in a couple of steps.
- Each row carries its own **Edit**, **View**, and **Delete** links for when you only need to change a single account.
- Deleting a user brings you to a confirmation screen where you decide what happens to their content, so nothing is removed until you confirm.

## Summary

Search by name or email, filter by role, then tick the accounts you want and use **Bulk actions** to change or remove them in one go.
