How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?
Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

How to merge two user accounts?
I have two user accounts I would like to merge into one. What would be the easiest way to go about doing this? I am mostly concerned about moving files, including preferences files, handling the mail accounts and browers bookmarks shouldn't be too troublesome for me.
ThanksMy favourite way to move files from Account A to Account B:
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting. -
Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?
There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User. -
How to merge two iCloud accounts?
By some stupid mistake I created two iCloud accounts. How can I merge them?
You cannot merge two iCloud accounts.
you can delete and keep one iCloud informations on iPhone and then connect to other one, then you just will need to merge the informations.
But you will always have the 2 diferent iCloud accounts.
keep me posted -
How to merge two Apple accounts by migration
Hello to you all
My question relates about merging two apple accounts.
Having two accounts is an issue (for instance when you start setting up Family sharing, or trying to get phone calls on your Mac)
As we know, merging two accounts is alas (still ?) not possible.
But it should be possible to address the issue it my migrating data.
As many people, I have two accounts:
Account A: [email protected], with all my purchases (iTunes, apps, machines)
Account B: [email protected], with my calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photos...
The best possible option seems to keep account A:
- Transfer the data from B to A
- Possibly transferring the [email protected] address into A
- Close B
About the data transfer:
- Transferring iCloud documents is easy (using the Finder)
- Transferring contacts, events bookmarks is also easy as they can be exported (ex .VCF or html)
- Transferring Notes can be done by moving the notes from the iCloud list to the On my Mac List
- Transferring Passwords and Photostreams is difficult (No Export solution for KeyChains, No way to transfer ownership of a photo stream)
- I do not know yet about transferring the iCloud email address [email protected] into the [email protected]
So my questions are:
1) Do you have any idea about transferring Passwords in KeyChain from one iCloud account to another ?
2) Do you have any idea about transferring ownership of a photo stream to one iCloud account to another ?
3) Do you have any idea about the email address transfer
4) Do you have any other way to do this ?
Thanks for your attention
Kind regardsThe easiest thing to do would be to use an iOS device, such as your iPhone to migrate the data from one account to the other. You can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign out of account B, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide your password when prompted, then sign back in using ID A to create a new iCloud account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data. This will not migrate notes, which as you said, can be dragged and dropped between accounts on your Mac.
This will also not move your existing iCloud email account. You cannot move an iCloud email account to a new iCloud account. You would either have to switch to the new @icloud.com email account that goes with your new iCloud account, or continue to use the existing email account as a "secondary account" To do this, you would go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud on your iOS devices (and System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud on your Mac), sign back into account B and turn on Mail. Just be aware that, at least on an iOS device, this would not be push email as push is only supported in the primary iCloud account.
Photo stream cannot be moved between accounts either, not can it be enabled in a secondary account. If you want to keep your photo stream photos you'll have to either save them to your device, or add them to a shared album before signing out of the existing account (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Another option would be to import them to your iPhoto events, then add them back to your new photo stream using iPhoto when you sign into the new iCloud account on your Mac.
For iCloud keychain, I believe you can turn it off iCloud keychain and you will be given an option to keep a copy of any saved passwords and credit card information on your device. Then set up iCloud keychain again once you are signed into your new iCloud account. -
HT201269 how to merge two icloud accounts
I have an Iphone 4s & I bought a Iphone 5S but I have two Icloud accounts instead of one. Can someone help me merging both accounts into one.
You can't merge Apple IDs. If you just created a new one, stop using it. Don't buy anything using it. Sign out of it on our new phone and sign back in with your original Apple ID.

I want to know how to merge 2 user accounts on my macbook pro
i got this macbook for xmas and when i set it up i didnt have my old pc to transfer file and now that ive doen the migration assistant i now have 2 user accounts i want to have everything on 1 account
First of all, run software update. They should have done this in the Apple store, but who knows.
Secondly, go through all your 3rd party apps that are not from the App Store (if any). Visit the developer's websites to check for updates or use the apps' built in 'Updates' function (usually in the File or Help menu of the app).
Thirdly, remove everything from your login items here:
> System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
By 'remove' I mean highlight the apps in the list and click the - minus button underneath (do not check the 'Hide' box). This doesn't remove them from your computer - it just stops them running when your computer logs into your account.
After removing all, restart the computer and test to see if the problem remains. -
How to merge two users in design repository
Hi,
i want to clone a design repository. But i got an error.
The problem is that i have 2 User in my design repository. One User is the owner of the tables and one User fills the tables.
For clone the repository i mustn't have 2 Users. Can i migrate the two user into one User?
thanks
WolleThere's no simple way to merge two accounts. What you can do is log into the account that you want to move (and, presumably, delete) and put all of the data into the Shared folder. Then log into the account that you want to keep and put all the documents, music, etc., from the 'old' account into the keeper account/ Log back into the old account and make sure that all your data is gone, then log back into the keeper account and delete the old account.
It's pretty simple, really, if you just use the Shared folder to move documents.

How to merge two itunes accounts on two different computers?
When I originally set up my iTunes account I did not have my own laptop. I used my sisters laptop for this which now has her own iTunes account stored on it.
However, my tunes which I have purchased are also part of this account.
Obviously my sister is fine with me having access to these tunes, however I would like to have them stored in the account I have set up on my own laptop now that I have my own device.
Is there any way I can merge both accounts or the content of the accounts without losing anything we have purchased or uploaded?
Is this 'merging the libraries?', I didn't think it would be as they are on different computers?
Any help here would be great as I am driving my husband mad with this!
Thank you!Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for this.
Do you think there is any way to get the content of the libraries onto one account?
Would home sharing work just to facilitate the movement of the tracks?
Thanks again! -
How can I share files between two users? or merge the user accounts
my laptop came home from the shop with two user accounts -never noticed that before - and some files are in one user account, some in another. I want to share them so I can just use one account. I just upgraded to Lion, so that may be an issue. Best of all would be to merge the two accounts so I don't have to think about it- just like 2 weeks ago. As it is, I have to log into one account to use Quicken, and another to use iWork - else I cannot access the files
Move the files to /Users/Shared/ and from there into the other account.

How do i merge my user accounts after migration assistant
Hello,
How do I merge my user accounts after migration assistant from a time machine back up?I wonder how to plan what account and rights to have where?
I had my old original account on my iMac, and then I "migrated" the data to a user account, in order to have some advantages with that setup. So everything worked approximately ok in this setup.
And yesterday, I tried migrating to a new Mac, and suddenly I get aware of the fact that the rights on these two earlier accounts were important.
And especially, after doing the migration to the new machine twice, until I got the Mail working, I am now totaly bewildered what solution to aim for? How to merge the two migrated admin accounts - keeping the original admin account is also important, since my file system har special rights for that one.
Could anyone give me more ideas about how to proceed? I think I have working Mail on one of the two migrated account (with 100 000 mails or so, it seems so...). The other account is the one I would like to have.
Also I think I want to use a normal user account, not an admin account for my daily use. And I have to see if things still work if I turn off the admin rights...
Thankful for any advice!

How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?
Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
JurjenAs long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder). -
This is complex. Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife. We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us. Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd. (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her. And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff. But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine. But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account. That works great for the calendars and the contacts. But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account. And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones. Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's. So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone). Does this description make sense to you? I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work. If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!BobT.
I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing.
Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about. -
