[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Merging resource records

Hi Laurel,

The merge resources functionality has not been changed recently. The ability to merge records is linked to a particular user's permissions within the application, however. In order to merge resources (and see the button on the toolbar) the user needs to be logged in as either a system administrator or part of a permission group that has the "merge the major record types in this repository" permission checked (see screenshot below from the Manage Groups area):

If you're not a system administrator, you'll want check with someone who is about verifying your permissions in the system and changing them to what you need. And if you are already a system administrator or if changing the permissions does not solve the problem you're encountering, please let us know.

Best,
Christine

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Merging resource records

Hello,

Has the ability to merge resource records been taken away or updated/hidden?

We're running the latest version of ASpace. The documentation online gives specific instructions to merge resource records via a "merge" button on the resources toolbar. But the toolbar doesn't have a merge button. I can see the other 6 buttons from the screen shot in the documentation, but no merge.  I've fished around JIRA and haven't seen recent conversations about this feature... Thanks for guidance.

Laurel
