I allow a certain role to change the post date but not the author. This shows the Authoring information tab with only the post date field. But the tab itself shows author as "Anonymous" while the author is retained when the user saves the node.

I think the module prevents Drupal from showing the author to the user of that role in the edit form.

I confirm this bug using version 7.x-1.12:

  • The tab itself shows author as „Gast“ (german "guest"). Switching language to English does not change anything.
  • Author is not retained when user saves the node again.

Try to add string into the "override_node_options_form_alter" function:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function override_node_options_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if (!empty($form['#node_edit_form']) && !user_access('administer nodes')) {
    $form['author']['#attached']['js'][1]['data']['anonymous'] = $form['author']['name']['#default_value'];
