Select All - Moving Users to new branch - doesn't work

I need to move a bunch of users to new branch - around 12,000. Understanding that maybe moving that many users at once is a lot to ask, I started testing by filtering and moving fewer at once. But I’ve found if I use the Select All option, regardless of the number of users (the lowest number I tried was 36), I get an error message. I can select several hundred and the move works but I have to go page by page in the User screen and it takes super long. 

Anyone have another idea? Docebo Support went silent after they told me to not move so many users.

Sounds like it should work, but if you're looking for a quick workaround, you can bulk import users using a CSV file, add the new Branch Code, and check the box to update existing users. You can test it with 2-3 users before making this change to thousands of users.

Another way to achieve this would be to try with the API. You can use the endpoint “/manage/v1/user/move_to_branch”. You can find information about this endpoint in the api browser.

Do you have any details about the error that you are getting? That could be an indication of how you could solve this.

If your users are currently in the same branch, this could even be easier. I get the following payload from my browser if I move users from one branch to another one:

{

"branch":{

    "id":12345,

    "selection_status":2,

    "iLeft":"111",

    "iRight":"222"

 },

"all":true,

"branch_ids":[12346]

}

You need to replace the information with the corresponding branch id.

I hope you get a solution. 😊

I ended up using the .csv import. I had to break it up into groups of 999 (1,000 or more fails). Thanks for the help.

The Select All appears to be broken. I think Docebo Support has reported it and a fix will be released the next time they do a code release, but it’s hard to tell.
