# ◾ How can user accounts be edited in batch?

The most efficient way to edit information for a group of users is to use the Batch User Create (BUC) function.


:::warning
***IMPORTANT:*** This option requires that the users be in the same group.

:::success
This function is optimal when modifications are to be made to different individual data segments. If role or group membership is to be set to the same value, the [**Edit Multiple Users**](/doc/259cacff-edec-4cb2-a1de-7a04d510afe4) function is more efficient.
