User Registration and Roles Assignment
- Isidora Popović
User Registration
In order to use the JAMS platform, both journal editorial staff and authors need to register an account. This can be done by following the steps shown in the two screenshots below.
Upon filling up mandatory data fields and hitting the Register button, the user will receive an email with a verification link in order to finish up their registration.
Roles Assignment
Assigning roles is very important because, when it comes to user rights in the system, each new registered user is by default an author, which means that the user can only submit a manuscript and see the submitted manuscripts. A Superuser can promote a user account to be an editor by following these two options from the menu.
Users
In the User Management menu, it is possible to flag a registered user as a member of the editorial office. By clicking the red X icon next to their name, the icon will be changed to a green checkmark and the user will be marked as an editor. In case of authors/reviewers, this option should remain negative (red X mark). This view also allows a Superuser to see whether there are unverified user accounts.
Employee Management
Employee Management screen displays a view of all registered users who are marked as editors, with the ability to view and update their roles.
The option Edit Roles allows the assignment of roles such as Handling Editor, Journal Editor, Publisher etc.
The options Edit Journal Editor, Edit Handling Editor and Edit Publisher allow selecting journals for which the role will be applied.
More information on editor roles are available at this page: Editor Role Management - JAMS Support Center - Confluence (atlassian.net).
