Delegates (how to collaborate)

Investigator: add a delegate

MyNCBI → Account Settings → Delegates → Add delegate → enter admin email.

Admin: accept the invite

Log into your own MyNCBI account and accept.

What delegates can and can’t do

Delegates can:

  • Import data and curate Products
  • Paste narratives, format entries, run previews

Delegates cannot:

  • Certify / sign the final PDFs (the individual named on the form must do this from their own account)
