### Action buttons
Each user has five icons to their right (Under actions):
- Edit icon: Click here to make adjustments similar to when creating a user. \
- Delete icon: Click here to remove the user altogether.\ 
- Mail icon: Click here to see sent e-mails or to send a new mail.\
- Check-in icon: Click here to manage the user's check-in.
## Bulk editing users
To edit multiple users at once, select the checkboxes on the left-hand side in the user's overview. Several buttons will appear in the top left corner. They allow you to bulk edit the selected users in the following way:
1. Adding tags to the selected users
2. Removing tags from the selected users
3. Sending emails to the selected users
4. Exporting the selected users
5. Deleting the selected users
## Locked users
In the admin panel overview as well as in the user overview, you can see how many users are currently locked out of the platform or app. When a user tries to enter the platform or app and enters a wrong password multiple times, they get locked. By editing their profile, you can unlock them.
