## Overview

Periskope enables you to perform group-level bulk actions like adding, removing members, changing admins, adding labels and editing group settings.

> [!WARNING]

> You can only perform actions on groups where the connected WhatsApp number is
> an admin. Actions on any group where the org number is not an admin will fail
>

**2. Pick the numbers from the modal**

 

> [!TIP]
>
> For actions like remove, promote, demote, you don't need to ensure that all
> numbers are part of all groups. Any numbers that are not relevant to the group
> are automatically skipped
