Override Insert Block for Key Users

Last published at: March 26th, 2026

Some users should always be able to create records, even if you have blocked creating records when duplicates are found. Find out how to configure this.

 

In the Duplicate Prevention settings you can indicate that it should not be possible to create a record if duplicate records exist for the record you are about to create. It is possible to single out some users that will be able to circumvent this setting, and create records even though duplicates exist. This is done as follows:

  1. On the ‘User’ entity, create or add a boolean Yes/No field, with the ‘No’ value as default. You can use the ‘Bypass Duplicate Block’ field as provided by Plauti, with values ‘Can Bypass’ (Yes) and ‘Cannot Bypass’ (No), but any boolean Yes/No field will work.
  2. In Plauti Deduplicate, go to Manage Entities > select Entity > Manage > Feature Activation & Setup.
  3. At the sections where you have enabled ‘Block insert if duplicate is found’, toggle the Allow users to bypass block setting to ‘Yes’.
  4. At User bypass field, select the boolean field you just added.
    Note that these two fields are only visible if you have the ‘Block insert if duplicate is found’ setting enabled.
  5. Save and Publish.
  6. Repeat for all Entities where you want to apply block insert override.
  7. On the User records of those key users that should be able to always insert records, even if duplicate records are present, set the boolean field to the ‘Yes’ value. 

The users with their boolean field set to ‘Yes’ will now be able to create records even though duplicates exist, while other users cannot.
