We’ve added a new “Set PHP FS Permission” option to the account-level Bulk Operations menu. This update eliminates the repetitive task of opening individual site settings to toggle write access or harden security rules, allowing you to manage file protections in batches or across an entire account.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **New Bulk Menu Dropdown Option:** You can now select **Set PHP FS Permission** within the standard Bulk Operations wizard alongside tools like plugin refreshes or cache clearing.
- **Three Flexible Access Modes:** The update includes options for full **Read/Write** access, an absolute **Read Only** file lock, and a hybrid **Read Only unless logged into WordPress** rule.
- **Automatic Error Handling:** Inactive sites or sites that fail to process are automatically skipped and noted separately, ensuring that errors do not interrupt the rest of your bulk run.
- **Historical Run Logs:** Every batch execution records a clear site-by-site status report within your Bulk Operations history tab for easy security auditing.

**How to Get Started**

Log in to **MyPressable**, visit the **Tools > Bulk Operations** menu in the sidebar, select **Set PHP FS Permission**, choose your desired rule, and run your batch update.
