Hi suresh nayak 12,

Salesforce Knowledge:

Update Converted Leads - Spring 16
  • With Spring 16 release, now you can update the converted leads. You need to do some user-specific and profile based settings and you are good to go. If you are a System Administrator,then you can even convert the lead which was already converted (seems to be a bug to me).
Follow below steps to enable this feature:
1) From Setup, enter User Interface in the Quick Find box, then select User Interface.
2) Select Enable "Set Audit Fields upon Record Creation" and "Update Records with Inactive
Owners" User Permissions.
3) Save your changes.
4) A4dd the setting to your profiles. From Setup, enter Profiles in the Quick Find box, then
select Profiles. Select the profile and then select Set Audit Fields upon Record Creation.
5) Save your changes.
If you want to update converted leads through dataloader, then you need to update a setting in
Dataloader. Follow below steps to configure your dataloader:
1. In Data Loader, navigate to Settings -> Settings.
2. Update Batch Size = 1.

If you try to update converted leads without performing above steps, you will get “ERROR:
insufficient access rights on object id".

Kindly mark it as solved if it helps you,


Best Regards,
