Save OrcID in an actor record

[whereismyjetpack]

Presently in ScholarSphere OrcID is a user editable field.

We populate a User record with metadata from AzureAD, and an Actor record with a combination of the ScholarSphere User record, and Penn State's search-service

AzureAD, and search-service do not present a members OrcID. We can populate a users OrcID via directory-service

When saving a user record we can 'refresh' or add OrcID by calling the directory-service API.

WDLL

• get an API token with read access to directory-service.

• write a service that calls directory-service to refresh an Actor's metadata. we can just grab orc-id as well.

I have sent a request to EIT to get access to directory-service. once i get it, i'll put it into vault and work up some sample code for grabbing the orcid

Question - what do we do when the user-entered orcid and the orcid coming from the service conflict?

Answer: We shouldn't have user-entered ORCIDs.
