I am using Wordpress Multi Site for our company. We have approximately 200 sites. I have around 3 editors per site and a couple contributors. These same editors and contributors would be editors and contributors on 10-40 of the 200 sites. When one person transfers to a new department I have to remove them as editor/contributor on the 10-40 sites and add them as editor/contributor on 10-40 other sites (sites are based on geographic region). Is there a way to batch add a user and role to a number of sites at the same time. Also, is there a way to batch remove a user from multiple sites at the same time?
Currently I have to click edit on each site, click the remove button, and back to the sites list to repeat 10-40 times. Due to the load times it is taking too long. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a plugin that can help me?
As a work around I have thought about adding permanent usernames associated with the 10-40 blogs and just changing the password when new users take the place of the old user. But it is nice to have their real names.

Hi richslack!
Yes, I can see how this would be WAY too time intensive. Should be a way to make this happen, but I don't know of anything right off the bat. Definitely never heard of a plugin that could do this. I'll think on this a bit more and maybe one of the Devs will have a chance to chime in as well.
I agree the workaround you mention would work, but is less than ideal. Let us know if you find something in your search!

I am searching for a similar solution. The workaround suggested will not work in my case because we will be having 100s of users. Any ideas or suggestions will be great!

will this allow adding existing users without modifying passwords.
