Managing Duplicate Accounts in Go1: Current Solutions

This support article serves as a practical guide for understanding and addressing duplicate account challenges.

Updated over a week ago

At Go1, we understand that account duplication can sometimes occur in your learning environment. While we currently don't offer a direct "merge accounts" feature, we recognize the challenges this presents and want to provide guidance on how to effectively manage duplicate accounts within your Go1 portal and how to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

🧩 Understanding the Current Situation

At present, Go1 does not have a built-in functionality that allows administrators to combine or merge two separate user accounts into one while preserving all learning history and enrollments. We recognize this limitation and understand it can present challenges when managing your learning environment.

⚙️ Available Options for Handling Duplicate Accounts

While a direct merge feature isn't available, here are the current approaches we recommend for managing duplicate accounts:

1️⃣ Select a Primary Account

Determine which account should be the user's primary account moving forward, considering:

  • Which account contains the most important learning history

  • Which email address will be used long-term

  • Which account is properly connected to your other systems

2️⃣ Document Important Information

Before making any changes, document key information from the secondary account:

  • Export completion certificates

  • Export course enrollments and progress

3️⃣ Update Enrollments Manually

For the primary account that will remain active:

  • Re-enroll the user in any courses they need to access

  • If needed, contact your Customer Success Manager about updating critical completion records

  • Ensure all necessary permissions and group memberships are assigned

4️⃣ . Deactivate the Secondary Account

  • Deactivate it to preserve the historical record

  • Consider updating the name to mark it as "duplicate."

🛡️ Preventing Future Account Duplication

To minimize duplicate accounts moving forward, we recommend:

  1. Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) to control authentication through your identity provider.

  2. Disabling self-registration and managing user creation through administrators.

  3. Avoid reuploading scorm wrapper (read: Why do I see unknown accounts in my portal?)

  4. Establishing clear onboarding processes for how new users should access Go1.

  5. Conducting regular account audits to catch and address duplications early.

  6. Educating users about the correct login procedures and who to contact for access issues.
