ORCID

Visibility Settings

• The default visibility setting of your name when you register is everyone. The default visibility setting of your email address(es) is only me. There are three visibility settings in an ORCID record.

 Information marked green for everyone can be viewed by anyone visiting ORCID.org or using the ORCID public API

 These are organizations or individuals you have identified and granted limited access to your ORCID record. Trusted parties can view all information that has been set at Green/Everyone or Yellow/Trusted Parties

 This is for private information. It can only be viewed by you the ORCID record owner, or by a delegate that the record owner has selected. 

• The visibility for the Items within your ORCID record can be customized. You can change the visibility setting for each item in your ORCID record by adjusting the visibility indicator next to the item.
