# DeDupeD Settings

After activating your DeDupeD license, you will gain access to the DeDupeD Settings:

Users with System Administrator or DeDupeD Admin Role can enable or disable duplicate detection at the organization level through **‘DeDupeD Settings’.**

Please follow the below steps to configure DeDupeD settings at the organization level.

* Go to **DeDupeD App --> Settings.**

* Now you will see the **‘Enable Duplicate Detection’** option.

  * **Enable Duplicate Detection:** Users with the System Administrator or DeDupeD Administrator role can enable or disable duplicate detection at the organization level by using this option.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note: By default, ‘Enable Duplicate Detection’ is set to ‘Yes’.**
{% endhint %}

* **Merge on Behalf Of (Application User)**: This feature allows administrators to designate a dedicated Application User under which all merges initiated through DeDupeD are executed. This enables non-administrator users to merge duplicate records without running into Missing Privilege errors, since the merge runs under the security context of the designated Application User rather than the end user's own account.

  &#x20;

  **For Example:** Normally, the Dataverse merge operation requires specific security privileges that many business users do not have. Instead of granting System Administrator access to every user, which is neither practical nor secure, administrators can configure a dedicated Application User (for example, "DeDupeD") that has the System Administrator role, since only an Application User with the System Administrator role can be selected in the 'Merge on Behalf Of' field. When a user initiates a merge through DeDupeD, the operation is carried out using this Application User, so the user completes the merge successfully without needing elevated permissions, while the organization keeps merge activity consistently tied to a single auditable service account rather than a shared admin login.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only Application Users can be selected for this setting.

* **Exclude Common Words (Fuzzy):** This feature enhances fuzzy duplicate detection by filtering out commonly used words in CRM and sales communication. By excluding terms like **“sales,”** the system focuses on unique identifiers, improving accuracy.

  &#x20;

  **For Example:** Imagine you’re managing a customer database for a sales team. Many records include common phrases like **“sales”** or **“contact.”** When you run fuzzy duplicate detection, these common words might cause valid duplicates to be overlooked. By enabling the **“Exclude Common Words”** feature, the system ignores these frequent terms, allowing you to identify duplicates more effectively based on the unique identifiers of your customers, such as names or specific product interests. This leads to cleaner data and improved customer relationship management.
