Managing User Relationships

Managing User Relationships

Assign terms on a profile

Open Users → All Users, select a user, and find the Relationships section. Select the appropriate Groups and Types, then save the profile.

Each registered user taxonomy gets its own table. The table supports custom taxonomy columns and preserves the taxonomy's permissions and selection mode.

See memberships on the Users screen

The Users list includes one column for each visible user taxonomy. Memberships are links; selecting one filters the list to users in that term.

Bulk assignment

1. Select one or more users on Users → All Users.
2. Open Bulk actions.
3. Choose Add to term taxonomy or Remove from term taxonomy.
4. Select Apply.

Bulk actions change only the selected term. They do not replace unrelated memberships.

Empty taxonomies

An empty taxonomy does not display a useless assignment table. Create at least one term before expecting it on the profile screen.

Managed and exclusive behavior

• An exclusive taxonomy allows one selected term at a time.
• A managed taxonomy prevents ordinary users from changing their own membership. Administrators with manage_options may still manage it.

These modes apply to custom user taxonomies; the default Groups and Types are neither managed nor exclusive.
