AEP Identity > Change the type of Identity

Avatar

Level 2

In the AEP > Customer > Identity UI, it is not possible to change the type of an existing Identity (let's say from "Cross-device ID" to "Non-people identifier", as an example).
But can it be done with the identity API?

@Olivier_Blonste You cannot delete/change once it's created/has data associated with it already, if you want to assign a new namespace for the same data 

  1. You will need to remove the profiles from profile store which are affected
  2. Delete these data/purge the dataset 
  3. create new namespace and update the data with new namespace
  4. upload to AEP to make this change

Hi @Olivier_Blonste 

 

As per my understanding, it's not possible to change the existing identity namespace either using UI or through API However, You have an option to create a new identity using API

Hope this helps.
