Articles within published issues of a journal are organized in Sections, typically by theme or content type (e.g. Review Articles, Research, etc).
Roles are groups of users in the journal who are given access to different permission levels and associated workflows within the journal. There are five different permission levels: Journal Managers have access to everything in the journal (all content and settings); Section Editors have complete access to all assigned content; Journal Assistants have limited access to all submissions that have been explicitly assigned to them by an editor; Reviewers can see and perform the submissions they have been assigned to review; and Authors can see and interact with a limited amount of information on their own submissions. Additionally, there are five different stage assignments that roles may be given access to: Submission, Internal Review, Review, Editorial, and Production.
