Merge UsersCopy link to Merge Users to clipboard

If you have duplicate User records for the same person you can easily combine them into one record using the merge action.

When you merge Users some properties will be overwritten, for example, a User can only be associated with one Organization so if the two profiles have different Organizations the merged User can only remain associated with one of the Organizations.

You can pick which User profile will overwrite the other.

Note


Any labels from both User profiles will be applied to the new merged User.

To merge Users:

  1. Go to the User's profile, open the dropdown menu and click Merge.

  2. A menu will open showing Users that are associated with the same Organization, or you can search any Users registered to the helpdesk by typing in a name and selecting the All tab.
