<p id="docs-ai-summary-content">As a WFM admin, you can manage user assignments to multiple workstreams in bulk. This allows you to quickly add or remove users from workstreams using the User Management page. This feature streamlines user management by letting you select multiple users and assign them to one or more workstreams or remove them as needed, enhancing your team's organizational structure.</p>
