Can another person update my ORCID record on my behalf?

You can grant another person access to your ORCID as a Trusted Individual to update your ORCID on your behalf. This allows them to:

• Add and edit information on your record
• Manage your works and affiliations

To add someone as a Trusted Individual:

• The person you want to delegate to must have their own ORCID iD
• You add them as a trusted individual in your account settings.
• Once granted access, they log in with their own ORCID credentials.
• They can then switch to managing your record from within their own account
• You can revoke access at any time

For security reasons, a trusted individual may not edit anything that requires you to enter your ORCID password, including: adding email addresses, resetting your password, and deleting your account.

To remove a trusted individual from your account, click delete ("trash can" icon) next to the name of the person you wish to remove.
