Hi @asmecher
Thank you very much for your effort in OJS 3.2
I have 1 question, how can I let permission to author for changing or update metadata?!
I think the author can easily update metadata without any permission!
Please explain this section for me
Thanks,
Mahmood
Hi @mbabaei,
Login as Editor, find the author’s assignment in the Participants list, and Edit it; you should see something like:
The checkbox there can be used to control whether the author has metadata editing rights.

Is this new feature in OJS 3.2? Is there github patch, I would like to implement this in ojs 3.1.2?
Yes, that screenshot is from OJS 3.2.0. Because the change affects the data model (and was added some time after 3.1.2 forked from the master branch) I don’t think you’ll be able to easily patch a 3.1.2 install with the feature, but in any case, the feature add is here: Selectively permit author metadata changes after submission · Issue #3758 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

Hi, great outcome. I cannot find out how to edit an authors assignment. When I click on the author I see “Remove Notify Login As”
I would appreciate a pointer to see where this new setting has been located.
Hi @MarkAGregory,
What version of OJS are you using? (Please include this in your posts.)

Hi @asmecher, thx for responding, I thought I had closed this thread. I found the issue, I was not running the correct version and looking at the wrong webpage.
This is a great capability for editors, we’ve already had authors using this capability to backfill metadata that they missed.
