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 profiles in the original account holder’s SciENcv, as well as editing the account holder’s My Bibliography.
If you would like to send a delegate request:
1. Login to your My NCBI account
2. Select your username in the upper right corner of the screen to access your Account Settings page
3. Under "Delegates," select "Add a delegate"
4. Enter your delegate's email address and select OK.
If you would like to accept a delegate request:
1. Check you email for the delegate request. If you haven't received the request email, be sure to check your spam folder -- the email comes from myncbi@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
2. Login to your My NCBI account. If you do not have a My NCBI account, you will be invited to register
3. Use the link in the delegate request email to accept and confirm the delegation
If you would like to see if a delegate has accepted your request:
