Merging People
Sometimes you'll find a person on your account is listed twice, usually with two different email addresses. Instead of removing one of them, you can merge the two together!
Or maybe you want a new person to inherit someone else’s project access and assignments? If you're an admin, you can get this done!
Click on Home, then on Adminland, then on option to Merge People:
You'll want to start by reading the information on that page as merging cannot be undone. The page explains that one person is designated as a winner and the other as a loser. The winner will receive all of the loser’s:
- to-do assignments
- reminders
- notification subscriptions
- access to projects.
They will not inherit the loser’s historical activity, nor will they gain access to their Ping conversations. After merging, the loser will be removed from the account.
Here's an example where someone invited Tony Stark to the account using their personal email address. Someone else invited them to the account using their work email address.
You can identify which profile should be removed after clicking Home, then Adminland, then Merge People. Let's get rid of the personal email address for Tony:
Then, choose which profile stays on the account:
You cannot undo a merge so please be sure you want to make this change. When you're ready, read the information on the rest of the page. Project accesses, to-do assignments, reminders, and subscriptions will be merged into the profile that stays on the account. The wrong profile will be removed from the account.
When merges finish, they'll all be listed beneath Recent merges:
