Merge user with 'guest'
Up until YouTrack 5.0.3 it was possible to merge users with the 'guest' user. Since upgrading to YouTrack 5.0.5 the 'Merge' hyperlink next to the 'guest' user in the administration area of our YouTrack instance has been missing.
Is this on purpose and if so, how could we merge user accounts with the 'guest' user again?

Merging users with 'guest' and 'root' users are not allowed.
You only can only merge 'root' user with another one so that 'root' will leave and the user will be removed.
What's your use-case?
Thank you.
This functionality was available up until and including YouTrack 5.0.3. Since the upgrade to YouTrack 5.0.5 the "Merge" link for 'guest' is missing and if I wanted to merge another user account it says "Selected user will be merged with 'User Name (user)' and removed." which means that the 'guest' account would be removed.
To be clear: We merged other user accounts into the 'guest' user account.
We have a 50 users license of YouTrack and due to some fluctations in our teams (think short time contractors or interns) we usually merge individual user accounts into the 'guest' user account when the respective person doesn't need access to YouTrack any more.
Yes, this functionality was available till 5.0.3. It was disabled due to issues connected with permissions of the merged users. Currently we implemented a new logic for this option and will enable the option in YouTrack 5.0.6.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sure. Here is the related task
