I used to be able to bulk edit Looker users via Admin Power Pack:
but this doesn’t seem to work somehow.
Are there alternatives apart from using the API to bulk edit?

Excellent question.
I’d also like to know how to do it.
What do you mean by “it doesn’t work” - do you mean you can’t get the Extension to work / installed, or that the functionality you need is not included in the Extension? I use the Admin Power Pack for bulk edits, but maybe it doesn’t meet your needs (for example, the schedules functionality doesn’t include LookML dashboards, which is not ideal).
Hey,
Hope you’re keeping well.
The Admin Power Pack relied on older Looker API workflows and may no longer be fully compatible with recent Looker updates. For bulk edits without writing your own scripts, the main supported option is still via the Looker API, but you can simplify this by using the Looker SDK for Python or Node.js combined with CSV input to process updates in batches. If you need a UI-based approach, Looker doesn’t currently offer native bulk user editing, so many teams create an internal tool using the API and a simple web form. You can review the API reference under Admin > Users in the Looker Developer Portal to map fields you want to update.
Thanks and regards,
Taz
