Make fields for author configurable by client

Right now, when you add an author to Ellipsis, it inherits data from author service, which is great. But the list of fields isn't everything we need to show in there. For instance, The Post doesn't need First and Last name, and Beat, but it does need short summary.

Getting that would be swell, but perhaps make the data configurable by client to show what each ones needs to edit.

    With the latest release to Authors service, we now have the ability to self-manage our custom fields, which is great! Will those fields appear in the Edit author details modal in Composer? I'm asking because the fields we'd like to add we'd also like to be able to override at the story level as well.

    So corroborating this post it would be valuable to be able to choose a few key fields from Authors service and make them available in the Composer modal for override.
