AWS connect: Bulk user edit confirmation prompts and access-restriction warnings

Service: connect · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: connect/latest/adminguide/edit-users-in-bulk.md

Summary

Documents new confirmation dialogs for bulk user selections and saves, an acknowledgment checkbox, a banner reporting how many users a change applies to and which are excluded due to access restrictions, and a Preferences dialog to turn confirmation prompts on/off.

Security assessment

The change adds UX guardrails (confirmation prompts, acknowledgment checkbox, user-count banner noting access-restriction exclusions) that reduce accidental mass changes, but it does not address a specific vulnerability or document a security feature, so severity is low.

Evidence

+  6. Fill out the form. A banner tells you how many users the change applies to, and reports any selected users that it excludes because of access restrictions. Check the count, select **I understand and want to continue with these changes** , and then choose **Save**.

+## Turn confirmation prompts on or off
+
+Connect Customer asks you to confirm bulk selections and bulk changes. If you make many bulk changes in a session, you can turn these prompts off to save clicks.
+
+  1. On the **User management** page, choose the settings (gear) icon above the table.
+
+  2. In the **Preferences** dialog, set the following options:
+
+     * **Selection confirmation** : Whether Connect Customer asks you to keep or replace an earlier selection when you add more users to it.
+
+     * **Save confirmation** : Whether Connect Customer asks you to confirm how many users a bulk change applies to before it's saved.
+
+Each option has three settings:
+
+     * **On** : Connect Customer always asks. This is the default.
+
+     * **Paused** : Connect Customer stops asking until you reload the page.
+
+     * **Off** : Connect Customer stops asking until you turn the option back on.
+
+###### Note
+
+**Select all** always asks you to confirm, even when **Selection confirmation** is paused or off.
