How to add delegates

Delegate access allows a trusted individual to update your ORCID record and act as a proxy for your account. This trusted individual must also have an ORCID iD. 

Trusted individuals have access to your record and can edit any information on it. They may not edit anything that requires you to enter your ORCID password.

To grant access to a trusted individual:

  • Go to Account Settings
  • Click Trusted Individuals
  • In the search box, enter the ORCID iD, email address, or name of the person you want to make a trusted individual
  • Click Search
  • Click Add next to the name of the user you wish to make a trusted individual
  • Click on the user's name if you need to check that you have the right person
