Owners/editors should be able to create bylines manually

Incidentally, I posted a workaround on this thread. You basically need to copy the following JSON code and replace the user details with your own, then โ€œimportโ€ the generated file into Ghost:

{
  "data": {
    "posts": [],
    "tags": [],
    "posts_tags": [],
    "users": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "slug": "person",
        "bio": "I am a person on the website",
        "website": "https://www.example.com",
        "created_at": "Thu, 3 Aug 2019 13:45:57 +0530",
        "created_by": 1,
        "email": "person@example.com",
        "name": "Some Person",
        "profile_image": ""
      }
    ]
  },
  "meta": {
    "exported_on": "Thu, 3 Aug 2019 13:46:48 +0530",
    "version": "2.14.0"
  }
}

Not neat, but it works, and Iโ€™m planning to write a script for it that would make things even more convenient
