Description
If an administrator edits the metadata of a dataset on our Dataverse installation, the administrator's name appears in the dataset as a contributor. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I would appreciate any hint!

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing an administrator's metadata edit and tracing where the administrator is added as a contributor. Done means the behavior can be disabled without adding that administrator as a contributor, with the resulting behavior verified.
