5. Or you can use the "Send Reset Link" button to send the reset password link.


6. Use the check box to set the role for the user.


6. Once you are done, click the "Update User" button.

On the "Users" page, you can bulk edit users to change their roles by using the checkbox,- if in case you want to upgrade or downgrade several users’ roles at the same time.
