 [ Permalink  ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/new-wp-cli-command-user-cleanup/)

We’ve introduced a new command to make it easier to offboard users from sites. Given
one or more email address, permissions (including super admin) can be removed from
users matching those email addresses.

    ```
    vip @<app>.<env> -- wp vip user cleanup --emails="test@example.com,also@example.com"
    ```

When working on a new index version it is often useful to be able to run a search
against the inactive version before making it active.

This change introduces support for `vip_search_<indexable>_version` query parameter.
Using this will let the user choose against which version of index is query ran.

As an example in a scenario where we have version 1 – active we can search against
version 2 by visiting:

    ```
    https://my.site.com/?s=<search-term>&&vip_search_post_version=2
    ```

The parameter also supports aliases `active`, `next` and `previous`.

There is an async queue for indexing in VIP search. This queue is used primarily
on bulk operations over items (e.g. posts). This change enables the processing of
this queue to run up to 5 instances concurrently. This will lead to having faster
time for processing a bulk change of a large volume of documents.
