Authors are per-channel records, separate from the user accounts that sign in. This lets you:
- Show a different byline on each channel (e.g. "Sho" on the news site, "Sho Shimoda, CEO" on the corporate site).
- Attribute articles to guest writers who don't have a login.
- Keep author URLs stable even if the underlying user's email changes.
Creating an author
From the channel page, open Authors and click Add author. Required fields are title (display name) and perma name (URL slug used on /en/c/<channel>/a/<author>).
Article attribution
Every article links to one author. When you create an article from the web editor, you're auto-attributed to a channel-author record derived from your profile. When you create one via MCP, pass authorId or authorPermaName to control the attribution directly.
Public author pages
Each author has a public page listing their articles and a bio section (the author's Text field). Toggle Show author on individual articles to hide the byline when needed.
