Hi!

[...]
The question is, shall we impose that authors are always authorized to
access any file attached to a record?

I can imagine a case when this is not wanted: e.g. if a record is going
to several step of a given workflow that implies some actors to attach
other files, which are not meant to be seen by the original authors
(e.g. approval workflow, one day, where the referee attach as a file,
his comments, to be visible to other referees, but not the author
himself - ok this would really be nasty WRT to the author as he would
see the existence of such file without being able to open it!).

Hm, WHY would those documents live WITHIN the original document? Say I
have a paper for publication, that has a bibliographic set like author,
title and so on. Now I have the referee report as you mention it. But
this is not what the bibliographic set of the original document refers
to, so they do both not share the same metadata. IMHO this referee
report should not be attached to the paper itself, but it is its very
own bibliographic entity, it has another document type like "referee
report", it has another author and so on. IMHO one should consider to
map the relationship of both records by inter record linking. Then I
think the problem you mention just disappears as each author always has
access to his own documents but the linkage is only activated once the
referee report is finished and then the actual referee report gets the
status of "published". (Could be some function that writes the ID of the
report to the refereed papers MARC data.)
