MERGE OPTIONS

MERGE WARNING! -

In instances where you are merging accounts, please keep in mind that the order of the merge makes a difference.  If you merge Account A with Account B, then the information in Account A, such as name, email, date of birth, etcetera, will be replaced with the information for Account B.

The merge option is for merging together two accounts that exist for the same person on your profile.  Do not use this option to merge together the accounts of two different people, unless you want to remove the information for Account A, and replace it with the information from Account B.

You can merge the account with the primary account holder, which will combine the two accounts into one, removing the information for the Sub-Account, and applying the primary user’s information to their registrations and activities on RunSignup.

Or you can merge the Sub-Account with another Sub-Account, which will combine these two accounts into one as well.

Set Existing Sub-Account as Primary Account

You can select “Set as Primary Account”, which will make this user the new primary account holder.  In using this option, the current password for the account will remain the same unless you edit it from your profile, and the previous primary account holder will become a Sub-Account of the account.

Merge Two Existing Accounts

You also have the option to "Merge" the account with the primary account holder, which will combine the two accounts into one, removing the information for the Sub-Account, and applying the primary user’s information to their registrations and activities on RunSignup.

Or you can merge the account with another Sub-Account, which will combine these two accounts into one as well.

When you have reviewed your consolidation settings, click on “Save Changes”, and the account consolidation will be saved.
