Pass an instance of this class to the Execute(OrganizationRequest) method, which returns an instance of the MergeResponse class.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges and access rights on the specified entity in the SubordinateId property and privileges on the entity that is referred to in the Target property.

Supported Tables

The following table shows the default entities that support this message.

Entity (base type for entities)

For a description of how actions on a parent record affect child records, see Parental table relationships.

Merge incidents

The behavior of merge for incidents is different from merging accounts, contacts, or leads in the following ways:

• The UpdateContent property is not used.

  For other entities this property may be used to transfer selected values from the subordinate record to the target record. When merging incidents the value of this property is ignored.

• Merge is performed in the security context of the user.

  Merge operations for other entities are performed with a system user security context. Because incident merge operations are performed in the security context of the user, the user must have the security privileges to perform any of the actions, such as re-parenting related records, that are performed by the merge operation.

  If the user merging records doesn’t have privileges for all the actions contained within the merge operation, the merge operation will fail and roll back to the original state.
