Managing users at press level

Managing users at press level page

From the Press manager you can manage users across all journals through the All users interface. You can filter users by whether they are active, are staff, their role(s), and their journal(s).

You can see what roles and permissions any given user has across all journals. You can remove or grant additional roles and/or permissions for multiple journals without needing to go into each journal or the admin area. For each user, there is also a link available to view their history, edit their profile or 'control' the user.

If a user has multiple accounts (often the case after changing institutions and making a new account if the older email is no longer accessible), these can be merged at press level, as such only press managers can do this. This can be done through the Merge users page. Merges from left into right. This cannot be undone. Merges everything - articles, review assignments etc. Does not affect frozen author records. The email address can still be changed after the merge.

Caution

A user merge cannot be undone. Always double-check you have selected the right email addresses from both columns. If you have merged the wrong users, contact Support as soon as possible (though there is no guarantee the merge can be undone).
