Wisc Account Administration - Adding bulk actions to increase efficiency & security

For Wisc Account Administration (https://email.wisc.edu/admin).... this is probably more than one ticket/issues ultimately, but in general it would be super helpful to implement bulk actions so that changes that need to be made to multiple accounts can be made with a few clicks rather than repeating the same series over and over, and each setting is multiple clicks deep. This makes this process very frustrating as it is very manual/repetitive and prone to error as you either have to check each one or depend on memory (assuming that someone else didn't make a change).

Examples include:

  1. Adding users as linked accounts
  2. Removing users as linked accounts (security issue as netids remain active beyond end of employment)
  3. Setting Office 365 Calendar Permissions
  4. Changing Office 365 Client Profiles
  5. etc.

This also relates to the need to make permissions auditable (separate git issue)
