I'd like to allow certain user roles to merge duplicate records. They don't need to be able to run the duplicate finder (which doesn't work for me anyway), but if they have a pair of records they want to combine, I want them to be able to, by going directly to a URL like so:

/civicrm/contact/merge?reset=1&cid=888&oid=999

This works great, for me. But that's not how I'd like to spend my time!

I realize this isn't standard permissioning, and probably never will be. I thought I'd ask, if I may, where might I find the code that defines the permission to run the Merge, or is it tied into a more general Admin-level permission set?

The easiest way to do this is to add an entry in the permissionedItems array (line 171 of CRM/Core/Menu.php). There are quite a few examples out there for various permissioning needs

If you need to add another permission, you can extend the _perm hook in drupal/civicrm.module, line 125

Note that Drupal 6 has changed the menu structure completely, so u'll need to rework your changes for Drupal 6 / CiviCRM 2.1
