Link ORCiD to existing account

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I already have an account that I created with my email and password. I also have an ORCiD. How do I link that ORCiD in my account so that other can see it and find me on ORCiD as well?

Describe the solution you'd like
I need a way to add the orcid to my profile.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None. I do not have any suggestion on how to implement it. I only want to have the opportunity to link the account and login with my ORCiD.

Suggestion: trigger the account linking in the user profile page, and do not worry about existing auth sessions, they will timeout anyway.

I suggest to do the auth flow that triggers a callback URL again, which at this moment is just for linking an existing account. You might need to pass the user id for the callback, so you know for which user entity the update should be done.

At the last step, the user profile page can be reloaded, which should then show the ORCiD Account Link :)

Suggestion:

Step 1: Link ORCiD account

Step 2: Show ORCiD account in profile
