+# Bulk user update
+
+The `bulkuserupdate` example script shows how to use the SFTPGo REST API to easily update some common parameters for multiple users while preserving the others.
+
+The script is written in Python and has the following requirements:
+
+- python3 or python2
+- python [Requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/) module
+
+The provided example tries to connect to an SFTPGo instance running on `127.0.0.1:8080` using the following credentials:
+
+- username: `admin`
+- password: `password`
+
+and it updates some fields for `user1`, `user2` and `user3`.
+
+Please edit the script according to your needs.
