One of our authors appears twice in the Discovery Author list. This seems
to have something to do with authority control because, when I looked at
the metadata for dc. contributor. author, one group displayed a thumbs up,
with the message 'This authority value has been confirmed as accurate by an
interactive user', while the others were either: 'Value is singular and
valid but has not been seen and accepted by a human so it is still
uncertain' or 'No reasonable confidence value was returned from the
authority'.

According to the docs (
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Authority+Control+of+Metadata+Values#AuthorityControlofMetadataValues-Confidence
):
Authority-controlled fields furthermore include an authority key box below
the field, and a confidence icon:

   1. The authority key is normally read-only, but it may be changed after
   clicking the "unlock" icon.
   2. If you change the authority key interactively, the confidence value
   becomes *ACCEPTED* since it was set by a human.
   3. A confidence icon is always shown, even when there is no authority
   key. This is because the confidence *is* significant; when it is
   *ACCEPTED* it means a human approved the authority value *even* if it is
   blank.

So I should change the key for the unauthorised author metadata? But I'm
not seeing any 'unlock' icon. (Please see attached screenshot.)

How do I change the authority key?

I'm using DSpace 5.3 with the Mirage 2 XMLUI. (I have tried the Mirage and
Reference themes also.)
