   • Email
   • User Role (Admin, Editor, Viewer, or Basic)

You can merge accounts that belong to the same person using one of the following methods:

Bulk merge

• Click Bulk Merge in the top-right corner of the table.
• LinearB attempts to load merge suggestions automatically.

Manual merge

1. Open the user’s three-dot menu.
2. Select Merge Account.
3. Search for and select additional accounts belonging to the same user.
4. Click Save and Close.

Merging users consolidates multiple accounts that represent the same person into a single, unified platform user.

Primary user

• The primary user is the account selected when opening the merge screen.
• The primary user becomes the authoritative identity after the merge.
• In a future update, admins will be able to change the primary user during the merge process.

Identity and visibility

• The primary user’s details (name, email, avatar, and permissions) are shown throughout the platform.
• This includes teams, metrics, dashboards, alerts, and pull request ownership.

Team memberships

• The merged user becomes a member of all teams associated with any of the merged accounts.
• Example:
  • User A is a member of Team 1
  • User B is a member of Team 2
  • The merged user is a member of Team 1 and Team 2

Permissions

• The merged user inherits only the permissions of the primary user.
• Secondary accounts are retained behind the scenes for data continuity with basic permissions.
• Permissions are not combined across merged accounts.

1. Select Edit Profile for the user.
2. Under Team Membership, click Add Team.
3. Select one or more teams.
4. Remove teams by clicking the X next to the team name.
5. Save your changes.

Use Delete User in the three-dot menu to remove a user from LinearB. This excludes the user from billing and preserves their historical data.

Billing note: LinearB counts a user as billable only if the unified user:

• Is assigned to a team, and
• Has a Git account connected.

Users who are assigned to a team but only have a LinearB platform account or a PM account (without a Git account) are not counted as billable.

• Permissions: Grant Admin access only to users who require full control.
• Connections: Verify Git and PM connections for accurate activity tracking.
• Search and filters: Use search and filters to find users by name, email, role, or team.
