There are several approaches available for integrating Registry with ORCID®, starting with Registry v2.0.0. Currently, these all are designed around the ORCID iD itself, and not other parts of the ORCID record, though additional capabilities may be added in future releases.

Recommended Approaches

Self Service Linking Enrollment Flow

This flow allows an existing CO Person to attach an ORCID to their Registry record.

1. Configure the ORCID Source plugin, if not already done. For the ORCID to be copied to the CO Person record, the ORCID Source must be attached to a Pipeline with the following configuration:
   1. Match Strategy: Do Not Match
   2. Sync Strategy: Sync on Add, Update, Delete
   3. Create CO Person Role Record: No (unticked)
2. Create a new Enrollment Flow with the following settings:
   1. Status: Active
   2. Email Confirmation Mode: None
   3. Petitioner Enrollment Authorization: CO Person
   4. Enable My Identity Shortcut: Yes (Registry v3.2.0 and later)
   5. Pipeline: None
   6. Identity Matching: Self
   7. Terms and Conditions Mode: Ignore
3. Do not add any Enrollment Attributes. (You will be asked to add one by default, simply page back or follow the breadcrumbs to skip it.)
4. From the Enrollment Flow configuration page, click Attach Org Identity Sources.
5. Click  Add Enrollment Source
   1. Organizational Identity Source: Select the ORCID Source you previously configured
   2. Org Identity Mode: Authenticate

Prior to Registry v3.2.0, CO Participants can now link their own ORCID record by logging into Registry and selecting Enroll >> Your ORCID Enrollment Flow. For Registry v3.2.0 and later, the link is My Identity >> Available Enrollment Flows >> Your ORCID Enrollment Flow.

Self Service Signup Flow

This flow allows the collection of an ORCID as part of an initial enrollment (ie: for someone who does not yet have a CO Person record).

 This flow requires Registry v3.2.0 or later.

1. Configure the ORCID Source plugin, if not already done. For the ORCID to be copied to the CO Person record, the ORCID Source must be attached to a Pipeline with the following configuration:
   1. Match Strategy: Do Not Match
   2. Sync Strategy: Sync on Add, Update, Delete
   3. Create CO Person Role Record: No (unticked)
2. Create a new Invitation Enrollment Flow using EnvSource.
3. From the Enrollment Flow configuration page, click Attach Org Identity Sources.
4. Click  Add Enrollment Source
   1. Organizational Identity Source: Select the ORCID Source you previously configured
   2. Org Identity Mode: Identify

Alternate Approaches

Administrator Search Enrollment Flow

1. Configure the ORCID Source plugin, if not already done. The ORCID Source must be attached to a Pipeline with the following configuration:
   1. Match Strategy: Do Not Match
   2. Sync Strategy: Sync on Add, Update, Delete
   3. Create CO Person Role Record: No (unticked)
2. Create a new Enrollment Flow with the following settings:
   1. Status: Active
   2. Petitioner Enrollment Authorization: CO or COU Admin, or CO Admin
   3. Pipeline: None
   4. Identity Matching: Select
   5. Terms and Conditions Mode: Ignore
3. Do not add any Enrollment Attributes. (You will be asked to add one by default, simply page back or follow the breadcrumbs to skip it.)
4. From the Enrollment Flow configuration page, click Attach Org Identity Sources.
5. Click  Add Enrollment Source
   1. Organizational Identity Source: Select the ORCID Source you previously configured
   2. Org Identity Mode: Select

CO(U) Administrators can now link ORCID records on behalf of their users. To do so:

1. Start at Enroll > Your Admin ORCID Enrollment Flow.
2. Select the CO Person you wish to add an ORCID record link for.
3. Select the ORCID Source.
4. Search for the appropriate ORCID record.
5. View the ORCID record.
6. Click  Add New Org Identity From Source and Link To Petition.

Administrator Search and Link

1. Configure the ORCID Source plugin, if not already done.
   1.  The ORCID Source cannot be attached to a Pipeline, as there is not currently a way to automatically connect the new Org Identity record to an existing CO Person using this method.
2. Go to People >> Organizational Identities.
3. Click  Add New Org Identity From Source.
4. Search for the desired ORCID record.
5. View the ORCID record.
6. Click  Add New Org Identity From Source.
7. After the Org Identity is created, find the desired CO Person record.
8. Click  Link in the Organizational Identities section.
9. Find the Org Identity you just created, associated with the desired ORCID iD.
10. Click Link.

Manual Data Entry During Enrollment (Not Recommended)

1. Configure a self signup Enrollment Flow and define one of the attributes to be Identifier (ORCID iD, CO Person).
2. Note that after collection, it is not currently possible for a user to update the identifier. (CO-1255)

Manual Data Entry By Administrator (Not Recommended)

1. An Administrator can add an ORCID iD to an existing CO Person record by visiting the appropriate CO Person page and clicking  Add in the Identifiers section.
2. Enter the ORCID iD as the identifier, and set the identifier type to ORCID iD.
