When a new user logged in using ORCID they can create a researcher profile.
I want to prevent them to make relationship with Organizational Unit and Publications.

Hi,

At this point in time, if Researcher Profiles are enabled, then the "owner" of that Researcher Profile (or any Administrator) can link/unlink it to other entities via a relationship. I'm not aware of a way to provide access restrictions on specific relationship types.

It's worth pointing out that this ability to link to other entities is required for syncing data between DSpace and ORCID.

That said, if you ONLY want to login via ORCID, without also synching data to/from ORCID, then you could turn **off** ORCID Synchronization (orcid.synchronization-enabled=false).  See the docs at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/ORCID+Integration#ORCIDIntegration-LoginviaORCID

If you turn *off* ORCID synchronization, then you don't need to have Researcher Profiles enabled either.  So, you could turn those off as well.  This would essentially mean that people could login via ORCID, but would not be able to sync content to/from their ORCID profile.
