 Use this tool to search for user duplicates, isolate the record which best describes the user, and merge the duplicates into the target record.
 The merge target is highlighted in red. This is the user record that will be preserved. All others will be removed, and all references to these records will be transferred to the target.
 The selection of the merge target is based on: 1) a record with a username and password, then 2) a record marked as administrator, then 3) the record with the most recent visit, and finally, 4) the oldest record.
 To search for a user, select the field you want to search on, and the value you will search for. All results matching this selection will be displayed.
