Hello everyone,
In OJS 3.1.2.1 I have two editors (with the same configuration; I mean same group in table ‘user_groups’ and same roles in table ‘roles’) that have different behavior on the submission page of the same journal (‘https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/submissions’) - ‘Archive’ tab.
The list of the items is the same, but, for example, the link that lead to the submission is different; in case of Editor A is:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/workflow/access/11430
in case of Editor B is:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/authorDashboard/submission/11430
The articles have been submitted with the QuickSubmit Plugin and the only difference I can notice is that the Editor B is reported also as the author of the submissions despite he doesn’t have the ‘Author’ role.
The problem is that the Editor B doesn’t have the permission to see the submissions: following the link:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/authorDashboard/submission/11430
leads to the page:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/user/authorizationDenied?message=user.authorization.authorRoleMissing
If I add the ‘Author’ role to the Editor B, the details became visible but with the ‘Author’ view, not the ‘Editor’ one. Is that normal for OJS3?
One last thing, if I try to access the link proposed to the Editor A using the Editor B:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/workflow/access/11430
OJS bring me to the page:
https://<domain>/index.php/<journal-path>/user/authorizationDenied?message=user.authorization.accessibleWorkflowStage
Thank you very much
