Allow Journal Managers to Invite users to adopt a role - Reviewers

[Devika008]

Hello,

Since #3022 (comment) was too big, upon discussion we decided to divide it into four smaller issues.

This second issue highlights the user flow of journal managers inviting reviewers OJS. The user flow reflects all the research, discussions and feedback received on this issue over the last few years along with some minor testing with a small user group at the Copenhagen Sprint.

Summary of the requirement

Reviewer can be added to OJS in two ways

1. Through the review section of the submission: Here the Journal Manager (JM henceforth) / Editor can click on “Add a reviewer” action and will see the following: Reviewers already associated with the Journal and added to OJS and send a review request to them, “Add a new user”- here the JM/Editor can invite a user via email to not only review the submission but also be an OJS user in reviewer capacity- and “Enroll an existing user” - here the JM/Editor can add the reviewer role to a user who already has other OJS roles along with sending an invitation to review the submission.
2. Through the “Users & Roles” section: Here the JM/Editor can either add a new user to OJS as a reviewer or add a reviewer role to an existing OJS user. The user will then be shown in the existing reviewer section of “Add a reviewer” on a submission.

Here, I am showing the workflow of editor inviting the reviewer from the reviewer panel in the workflow

A. The reviewer does not have an existing user account. And the JM/Editor want to invite the reviewer through the reviewer panel in the submission
