Can't find Author Role for this person

The submission fails with ScholarOne error code 26.

Why it happens…

This issue can occur due to one of the following reasons:

ScholarOne can’t find any author role linked to the person record in ScholarOne.
The author role has expired for the person record in ScholarOne.

To resolve:

If there is no author role linked to the person record, then in ScholarOne add the Author Role to the affected user's record.

If the author role has expired for the person record, then in ScholarOne update the person record to remove the expiration dates for the author role and resubmit the manuscript.
