Hello all,

Is it possible to get CB Auto Actions to remove multiple members based on a CB field?

Thanks, Matt.

I do not think that there is such an action currently supported.

You can manually delete users from the CB User Management page.
You can even search for the ones you want and then multi-select them in the checkbox field and then delete them all at once.

You can use a Code action, then with PHP to load the UserTable object of the user, then run the delete function. I've no plans of adding a delete action. The reason is it's incredibly dangerous to automate user deletes and highly recommend you don't do it. It's better to just block the user and then you can delete them later manually as needed.

Great. Thanks. As a bit of background this is for a very specific project which involves a sync with an outside database for voting. The easiest way is to wipe all members and then load members once every couple of months for voting only. The end users will not be using the website for anything other than voting.

Thanks. Matt.

You might want to look at something better suited for polling/voting/surveying ... maybe this:
