Why am I seeing the message "EIDM users are not allowed create new institutions at this time" when I try to create a new branch in Service Configuration?

Applies to
  • WorldShare Management Services
  • WorldCat Registry 
Answer

You will see this message if you are signed into OCLC Service Configuration using a WorldShare account. To add a new branch to the WorldCat Registry, sign in to Service Configuration through the top link using a WorldCat.org account that has been added as an authorized user.
