Add option for section editor unassigned and review stages to anonymise author data #4417

Description

@ajrbyers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some journals use triple anonymous review. This means that section editors (SE) should not ass author PII until after the article exits the review workflow.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Add a new setting to enable this, disabled by defailt
  • Add a new template filter that can anonymise data for SEs until the article leaves unassigned/review
  • Identify all places within unassigned and review where PII is displayed and either apply the filter or block access

Idenfitied places to apply filter

  • Dashboard --> Section Editor block
  • Dashboard --> Search Submissions
  • Unassigned --> Author block
  • View Metadata -- > Author Block
  • Edit Metadata --> Author Block
  • Edit Author --> Form
  • Logs --> To/Body sections
  • Unassigned Article and In Review Article --> Subtitle
  • Review --> Review List page

Templates to remove author details

  • Revision complete
  • Templates used in draft decisions
    • Accept
    • Decline
    • Revision Request

Views to block access to

  • Document Management --> Potential to see non-anonymous documents

Migration

  • Add migration to alter existing templates, adding in the se filter

Describe alternatives you've considered
We considered a plugin but this would require duplicating much of the interface.
