Unable to access my records coming via iNaturalist

Submitted by Karen Fry on

I use iNaturalist and I'd also like to be able to access my records from there once they get onto iRecord, but for some reason I cannot. My Display Name on iNat is the same as my name on iRecord, but I still cannot edit my records nor see any comments made on them. I have over 5500 records on iRecord and I'd like to be able to make changes if they have mistakenly gone through as Research Grade.

Any suggestions? Thanks! 

(And I'm asking the same question on the iNat forum!)

Unfortunately editing records from iNaturalist in iRecord isn't currently possible. Even if your username and email address are the same, the research grade observations from iNaturalist are imported records and therefore treated as records made by someone not signed in to iRecord. As a result they do not sync up with your iRecord account, so do not count for your species or record counts, and cannot be edited like records that are entered directly into iRecord.
