OJS 3.3.0.8: Copy editors cannot view the article assigned to them for copy editing

KMC · December 14, 2021, 5:01am

When ever a copy editor tries to view the article assigned to them for copy editing, there appears this issue:

I have checked, the user has the role “copy editor”
The author has followed all the protocols.
Need assistance to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi @KMC,

Are you able to access your php error log, and can identify any relevant errors there? These Browser messages tend not to be all that helpful in pointing to what that issue is.

The code here checks to see if the editor has access to the Production workflow stage. Does the copy editor role have this permission in your configuration?

          		} elseif (!empty($accessibleWorkflowStages[$currentStageId]) && array_intersect($editorialWorkflowRoles, $accessibleWorkflowStages[$currentStageId])) {
          			$canAccessProduction = (bool) array_intersect($editorialWorkflowRoles, $accessibleWorkflowStages[WORKFLOW_STAGE_ID_PRODUCTION]);
          			$canAccessPublication = true;

Thank you for your reply. we vent assign the Production workflow stage access to the copy editors, as if was not assigned in since day start. in the previous versions of OJS it was working fine until we updated to the latest version of OJS.
Now i allowed the production stage access to the copy editor role and for now working fine
