Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Editors report that when they accept a new submission that is not in a peer-reviewed section they still get a security warning they cannot override.
Describe the solution you'd like
When a new submission in the unassigned queue is accepted, there shouldn't be a security check to verify the editor is one of the authors.
When a new submission is sent to a section that is not peer-reviewed we should make it clear on the actions panel (perhaps add a message saying that "Section 'section_name' is flagged as not peer reviewed' next to the action buttons.

Research direction
Start by tracing the acceptance action for new submissions in the unassigned queue and the actions panel for sections that are not peer reviewed. Verify where the editor-author security check is applied and where section status is displayed. Done means eligible acceptances no longer trigger that warning and the panel clearly identifies non-peer-reviewed sections.
