Summary: Reviewer/Referee Access

Initial Comment:
I'm making this a priority of 9 only because it is needed before TreeBASE2 can be made public. We need to make sure that reviewers or referees can have access to datasets that are "in progress" and associated with a manuscript that is in the review process of a journal. Jin Ruan initially created a user role called "reviewer" which gives someone read-only access to the private sections of the database. We decided that this is a bad solution because it requires that each reviewer get a login name and password, which implies a huge amount of admin overhead. A better solution is to auto-generate a long random string which can be used in an URL to give someone a read-only access to the submission page. But however which way we do this, it is needed because some journals depend on this as part of their review process.
