Authorized Trusted Individual

In order for faculty to complete the academic portfolio and leverage the research visibility, the library can assist with the ORCID Profile (Biography) and import the Publications (Works). Therefore, please set the subject librarian as your Trusted Individual and the authorized librarian will regularly update and maintain your ORCID research information.

Add a trusted individual to your account

You can grant permission to one or more trusted individuals to update your ORCID record, acting as a delegate or proxy for managing your account. Other ORCID users can grant permission for you to update their records. A trusted individual does not need to be another researcher, but must have an ORCID iD.

Trusted individuals have access to your ORCID record, and will be able to edit any information on it, and make connections with external systems. 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 (which requires access to your email).

To grant access to a trusted individual, go to Trusted parties, then Trusted individuals. In the search box, enter the ORCID iD, email address, or name of the person you want to make a trusted individual, then click Search ORCID for trusted individuals.

If you enter an ORCID iD or email, a pop-up box will ask you to confirm that you want to add that user as a trusted individual by clicking Add as trusted individual.

If you search for a trusted individual by name, a list of matching ORCID records will be listed. Click on +Add as trusted individual next to the name of the user you wish to make a trusted individual, or click on the user's ORCID iD to be taken to their public ORCID record if you need to check that you have the right person.

After you have added a trusted individual to your ORCID record, their name and ORCID iD will appear in the Trusted individuals section. To remove a trusted individual from your account, click Revoke access next to the name of the person you wish to remove.

Please note that the trusted individual will not be able to change your password (unless they already know your current password; we strongly advise not disclosing this to anyone, including your trusted individuals). The trusted individual will not able to perform any operation that requires access to your email address, such as verifying your email address or deactivating your ORCID account
