Plone 4.1.4
I can hide author information through Setup → Security → uncheck “Allow anyone to view ‘about’ information”.
How could I hide author information(byline) for authenticated users?

Best Regards.

    Hide the viewlet altogether. Add /@@manage-viewlets to the URL to access the viewlet management view, locate the plone.belowcontenttitle.documentbyline entry and click the “Hide” link.

    Alternatively, you could include a viewlets.xml file in your policy product’s GenericSetup profile with:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<object>
  <hidden manager="plone.belowcontenttitle" skinname="[enter your site skin name here]">
    <viewlet name="plone.belowcontenttitle.documentbyline" />
  </hidden>
</object>

    That’ll mark the viewlet as hidden for a given skin name.

    For folder views, you’ll have to customize these individually; the folder_summary_view.pt template (the “Summary” display) for example, has a <div class="documentByLine"> section you would have to adjust (it only displays authors for News Items).
