# Transforming Master Records into Golden Records

When Master Records are not automatically transformed into Golden Records due to match or merge conflicts, you must resolve the conflicts by updating the Master Records so that the records can be transformed into Golden Records.

You must have **data steward** privileges to transform a Master Record into a Golden Record.
