Info
titleORCID Authority can only pull data from ORCID and link it to a DSpace metadata field

ORCID Authority allows you to link up DSpace metadata fields (added during the submission process) to a person's ORCID identifier.  The main use case for this feature is to allow you to link author metadata fields to their ORCID identifier. This is a very basic ORCID integration that has existed since DSpace 5.x.

If you are looking for ORCID Authentication & the ability to synchronize data from DSpace to an ORCID profile, then you should be using the ORCID Integration feature instead.
