Enabling Merge Object Permissions on an Object Type

Overview

The merge duplicate object feature allows users to merge two objects (a main object and a duplicate object), updating the main object (e.g., Merging duplicate user profiles to create one user profile). When merging the two objects, the main object gets updated with data based on specific merge rules from the duplicate object, which is then deleted.


User Account Requirements

The user account you use to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to access to the Data Access section.
