Manage your journal's users, assign them to roles, and create or edit existing roles. For more detailed information, see [Learning OJS 3: Users and Roles](https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/users-and-roles).
|
|
|
|
## <a name="users"></a> Users
|
|
|
|
Journal Managers and Administrators can view a list of all users in the journal. You can add users, disable a user, send them email, edit their profile, or delete them completely.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to find a user is to use the search button, which will allow you to search by name or role.
|
|
|
|
*To find a list of all authors, use the Search feature, leave the search field empty and select Author from the dropdown menu. Then click the Search button.*
|
|
|
|
## <a name="roles"></a> Roles
|
|
|
|
User roles govern who can access what in the editorial workflow.
|
|
|
|
A flexible user role system is provided so that you can tailor the roles to your needs. On the Roles tab, you'll see a list of default roles created by the system.
|
|
|
|
There are many roles, and most journals won't need all of them. Feel free to delete roles you won't use in your workflow.
|
|
|
|
You can edit or remove existing roles or add new roles. All roles are given one of a few permission levels which allow them to perform various actions in the system:
|
|
|
|
- *Authors* can make new submissions.
|
|
- *Reviewers* appear when you're assigning reviews in the [Editorial Workflow](editorial-workflow) and have access to that stage when they're assigned.
|
|
- *Readers*, like all other user types, can access the reader-facing website. All users have this capability.
|
|
- *Journal Managers* have access to the entire [Editorial Workflow](editorial-workflow), as well as most of the settings.
|
|
- *Series Editors* and *Journal Assistants* can access only those parts of the [Editorial Workflow](editorial-workflow) assigned to their role (see below).
|
|
|
|
In addition to the permission levels, you can restrict some roles to particular stages of the [Editorial Workflow](editorial-workflow). This is useful for professional assistants such as copy editors or layout managers who may assist during one or two stages of the workflow.
|
|
|
|
## <a name="notify"></a> Notify
|
|
|
|
If an Administrator has enabled "Bulk Emails" under [Site Settings](https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/site-administration#site-settings), you will see a Notify tab. You can use this tab to [email all users in a role](https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/users-and-roles#email-users).
|
|
|
|
## <a name="site-access"></a> Site Access Options
|
|
|
|
Under the Site Access tab, you can turn off public user registration or event limit access to the reader-facing site to registered users.
