if there is only one section editor, s/he ist assigned to a new submission automatically even if s/he is not assigned to the section the submission is assigned to.
Is this a bug or is it done on purpose? Automatically assigning managers and editors seems to be okay, but as section editors have restricted access, I would not expect such an automatic assignement.
Yes, that’s expected behavior. If you’d rather not have this occur, I’d suggest removing the section editor from the section’s list (but otherwise leaving them enrolled as a section editor). Alternately, add another section editor to the list; the single user situation is treated as a special case.
