Layout editor with no access to metadata

Robyn · August 22, 2018, 6:45am

Hi
OJS 3.1 Is it possible for the layout editor to have access to the metadata? The layout editor needs to know what section the article appears in as well as information about the authors.

Thanks

Seems that at the moment assistants (like layout editors) are now allowed to access the metadata tab.

@asmecher any reason why assistants could not view/edit metadata? For some journals that could even be part of copyediting stage?

Edit: enabling assistants to edit metadata would only involve adding ROLE_ID_ASSISTANT to these files:

Hi @ajnyga,

That looks like a worthy addition. Would you mind opening up a PR?
