Create Your Biosketch with SciENcv

Assign a Delegate

Any My NCBI account holder can set up one or more delegates for their My NCBI account. Once a delegate has accepted their invitation, they will then have the ability to view, edit, and create documents in the original account holder’s SciENcv, as well as editing the account holder’s My Bibliography. 

To send a delegate request: 

  1. Login to your My NCBI account
  2. Select your username in the top-right corner of the screen to access the Account Settings page
  3. Under “Delegates,” select “Add a delegate”
  4. Enter your delegate’s email address and select OK. Your delegate will be sent an email notification of this request.

     
  5. If you have sent one or more delegate requests, you will see a table in the Delegates section of confirmed and pending requests.  You can also edit or remove your delegate's access.
    If a delegate is "(Awaiting confirmation)", this delegation request has not been accepted – refer your delegate to the instructions on how to accept a delegate request (below).

***Note: The Public or Private settings on your My Bibliography or SciENcv have no effect on your delegate’s ability to view and make changes to these resources. Should you wish to remove a delegate, use the red “X”. Should you wish to give a delegate access to only one resource, use the check-boxes.***
 

Become a Delegate

To accept a delegate request:

  3. Click the link in the delegate request email to accept and confirm the delegation

 

To access your delegator’s SciENcv: 

  1. Login to your My NCBI account.  You should be able to see a list of your delegators.  Click the your delegator's link to manage their SciENcv.
  2. The SciENcv dashboard will indicate that you are working on someone else's profile and not your own.  You will be able to create and edit their documents on this portal.  
    To stop working on another person's SciENcv profile, click the "Return to your own SciENcv" link.
