Within Teamwork.com, you can bulk manage teams and their individual members.

Note: These bulk actions are available on per-user Premium/Grow subscriptions and above.

You can use different subsets of the bulk actions depending on whether you are a site administrator, project administrator on a project, or have been granted the profile permission to manage people and companies.
