This article explains how to bulk freeze or unfreeze Salesforce user accounts using Data Loader by updating the IsFrozen field on the UserLogin object. This method allows System Administrators to quickly restrict or restore access for multiple users without individually updating each account. For instructions on freezing a single user, see Freeze or Unfreeze User Accounts.
To freeze or unfreeze multiple users, export the UserLogin object using Data Loader, update the IsFrozen field to TRUE (freeze) or FALSE (unfreeze), and then import the updated CSV file back into Salesforce.
The IsFrozen field on the UserLogin object controls whether a user is frozen.
Video: The embedded video demonstrates how to use Excel VLOOKUP to combine UserLogin and User export data and prepare the CSV file for a bulk freeze/unfreeze operation.
Note: Use the Id of the UserLogin record rather than the UserId to update.
