QCFUM Bulk Password, Reset, Status, and Delete Actions

The QCFUM 2.0.4 Users interface offers five bulk choices when the relevant settings allow them: require password reset, reset password by email, block, unblock, and delete using the configured deletion behavior. These choices are designed to reuse the corresponding single-user handlers.

Current limitation: the 2.0.4 bulk form is blocked by the generic missing-target_user_id validation described in the Bulk Actions guide, so these bulk choices should not be treated as operational until that defect is fixed.

Actions Present in the 2.0.4 UI

Bulk choiceIntended individual handler
Require password resetMarks the eligible Joomla account requireReset.
Reset password by emailGenerates a private temporary password and requires reset.
Disable / BlockSets Joomla block=1.
Enable / UnblockSets Joomla block=0 without clearing activation.
Delete / configured delete behaviorAppears only when deletion is enabled and follows hard-delete, block-first, or approval rules.

What Is Not a Bulk Choice

The 2.0.4 selector does not offer bulk identity editing, group editing, activation clearing, or the QCFUM MFA administrative flag. Those remain single-target workflows.

Intended Result Accounting

The bulk branch is designed to count Processed, Skipped, and Failed targets, send the acting manager a bulk_action_summary email when their email is valid, and audit the aggregate action. A non-editable target would be skipped before the individual action handler is called.

Do Not Infer Success from the Visible Control

Because the current pre-branch target check prevents the bulk loop from running, seeing the selector or selecting users is not evidence that 2.0.4 can process the batch. Use single-user actions until the handler is corrected, then regression-test every listed bulk action independently.
