Submitting on Behalf of Others

Admins can initiate and submit proposals on behalf of another individual.
This is useful when handling submissions for invited speakers or curating sessions where the content owner is not entering the information directly.

To create a submission on behalf of other users, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to the desired call
    Begin by selecting the call for which you'd like to create a submission. This ensures you're working within the right submission scope.

  2. From the ABOUT menu, scroll down to Create Submission
    This button starts the submission process for the selected call.
    You'll be acting as the initial user before transferring authorship.

  3. Select ADD CO-AUTHOR
    This step lets you search for the individual who should be listed as the author.
    You'll assign them as the primary author in the following steps.

  4. Start typing in the name or email of the individual to submit on behalf of
    As you type, the system will search the user directory.
    Once the correct match appears, click on it to add them as a co-author.

  5. Select the individual to be the Primary Author

    This ensures they receive credit and ownership of the submission.

  6. Select the X next to your name
    Remove yourself from the author list.
    This action ensures the designated person is now the sole or lead author on record.

  7. Complete the submission form
    Fill out all required fields in the form just as the submitter would. You’re still logged in as yourself but acting on their behalf.

  8. Review the submission summary
    Double-check all entered details.
    The author section will now reflect the person you assigned earlier.

  9. Click SUBMIT to finalize
    This completes the submission process.
