3. Locate the user by either scrolling through the list of users or searching for the username using “Search users”.


You have a range of options once the required user is located:

Edit


When you click on the Edit action link it takes you to the Edit User panel for that user where you can view and edit the users details.

You use the Edit User page to edit features like:

  1. Enabling and disabling the Admin Bar
  2. Change the display name of a user
  3. Grant a user super admin privileges for the Network
  4. Change the email address attached to a username
  5. Manually reset the password of a user

Delete


Deletes the username entirely.

Use with caution because once a username is deleted it can’t be recovered.

Mark as Spam

Used when you find a spam user but aren’t completely sure they are a spammer spam so you mark it as spam.

You can mark it as “not spam” if it turns out to be legit.

When you spam a username it spams all sites attached to that username.
