    It would be a very important improvement:
    - Allow automated merge of duplicated accounts
    - Correction of corrupted accounts: in a network environment => create a new copy from the network zone, merge the old corrupted account into the new one. This way you can keep loan history and other details and repair the corrupted account without having to delete it.

    With data protection legislation becoming ever more restrictive, it's important to have the right tools to improve compliance.

    This may be one way of getting around the problem of having the merge patron functionality locked into the user manager and user admin roles.

    Out of votes but I like this one - we have code that can detect some duplicate user records, and being able to act on them via API would be great!

    Thank you for creating this idea - it will be a great improvement
