# Bulk edit representatives

> Bulk-edit representatives in absentify from Settings, Users. Add, replace, or remove representatives for several users in one action.

You can change representatives for several users at once on **Settings** > **Users**.

1. Select the users.
2. Select **Bulk edit**, then **Manage representatives**.
3. Choose **Add representatives**, **Edit representatives**, or **Remove representatives**, then select **Continue**.

The dialog explains each mode.

To change representatives for one user, open the [Representative](/docs/en/roles/hr_admins/settings/users/edit/representative) tab.

Representatives need Essentials or Plus. See the [plan feature matrix](/docs/en/roles/hr_admins/settings/plan-feature-matrix#absences-and-policies). You can remove existing representatives on a lower plan.

## Add, Edit, and Remove

A user cannot be their own representative.

If some of the representatives you add are already assigned and others are not, the user is updated for those who were missing and counted as **Partial**.

If **Other departments** is off in [Privacy](/docs/en/roles/hr_admins/settings/general/privacy#other-departments), a representative you choose must share a department with the user. Otherwise that user is skipped.

**Edit representatives** opens the same form as the [Representative](/docs/en/roles/hr_admins/settings/users/edit/representative) tab. You choose the setup. It replaces the setup for every selected user, including the approval process and how many representatives must accept.

***

## After you apply

absentify shows **Successful**, **Not successful**, and **Partial**. **Partial** counts users where some of the representatives you chose were already assigned. Select **Finish** when the run completes.
