Ability to select many users at once and merge them to an account

Describe the problem you would like to solve
merge many users at once

Describe the solution you’d like
I would like to have tick boxes in the dropdown display
Email - Edit User - Enable-Remove-Login as -Merge User
next to Merge User so I can select many of them and then merge all of them into one account instead of having to do them one at time. It’s a restoration of a feature that was available in earlier versions.

Who is asking for this feature?
Journal Manager

Additional information
Add any other information or screenshots about the feature request here.

I know is not exactly what you are looking for, but this could be useful:
https://github.com/marcbria/ojsExtraTools?tab=readme-ov-file#mergeuserlist

My workflow is:

  1. Backup everything.
  2. Extract a CSV/Excel with all users (including roles)
  3. Tag the users I like to keep or delete.
  4. Extract the list of the users I like to merge.
  5. Run the mergeUsersList script with the former list.

Thank you very much for that. I will try to make it work on my installation.
Much Obliged
Cheers
