Hi @jpmaidana,

As an admin, can create new roles and assign them with different aspects of the workflow: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/users-and-roles#permissions-and-roles

You might want to try creating one and try giving them access to different stages to see if this works for your use case.

The previous answer, when I want to modify the production option, appears disabled. I tried deleting the stage_id for that new role within the user_group_stage table, but the button to send to production still appears.

Hi @jpmaidana,

Thanks for clarifying. I wouldn’t recommend making changes in the SQL database. I’m not sure if the change your propose would work without customizing the code in some manner, but I’ll see if one of our other team members can comment how this might be possible outside of this.
