Your Similarity Check administrator account

Once Turnitin has enabled your Similarity Check account, as the main editorial contact provided on your application form, you become the Similarity Check account administrator. As an administrator, you create and manage the users on your account, and you decide how your organization uses the iThenticate tool.

This page explains how to set up your personal account and find your way around if you’re using iThenticate v1. If you’re using iThenticate v2, go to the Turnitin website instead.
