Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrator
Hi! Claudia, Here each school is represented by a community and individual divisions are represented by collections. Although DSpace administrator account can manage submission workflow to collections (i.e. edit metadata, accept, and reject submission), it would be quite useful if individual collection administrators can manage this workflow. For managing individual collection C using an account X apart from the Administration account (1) Added the account X to the Collection administrator list of collection C (2) Added the account X to the Collection Submitter group. (without this authorization error is given) From the task pool of account X, workflow of collection C can be managed (i.e. metadata editing, accept, reject submission etc) Is this the right way to allocate a collection administration other than the administration account? We want the DSpace administration account to be relieved from managing individual collection workflows. Please suggest Thanks, Jayan -Original Message- From: Claudia Jürgen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 3:45 PM To: Jayan Chirayath Kurian Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] item submission authorization Hi Jayan, item submission authorization is done at collection level.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrator
Hi, Jayan: this is a good idea, re: giving DSpace collection administrators the rights to manage individual collection work flows. I suggest you file this as a feature request via the DSpace Tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=19984atid=369984 Claudia: it would be useful to add the procedures for submitting feature requests, patches and bugs to: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/EndUserFaq, shall I do this?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrator
hi! Naveed, By following the steps given below the collection administrator account works with submission workflow. Jus want to clarify whether any one is using this way for collection workflows rather than using DSpace admin account. thanks, jayan From: NS Hashmi, Information Systems and Computing [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 7/5/2007 7:57 PM To: Jayan Chirayath Kurian; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrator Hi, Jayan: this is a good idea, re: giving DSpace collection administrators the rights to manage individual collection work flows.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrator
Hi! Naveed, Thanks for sharing the details. I was following the steps given below to enable the Accept/Reject/Edit Metadata Step for a collection administrator. (1) Created 2 normal accounts, JCK and ABC (2) Created a collection, CX (3) Using a DSpace admin account, EDIT the collection CX (4) In the Submission Workflow, selected the Collection Administrator as JCK (5) In the Submission Workflow, selected the Accept/Reject/Edit Metadata Step and assigned the E-PERSON as JCK (6) In the Submission Workflow, selected Submitters as JCK and ABC (7) Submitted an item to the collection CX using the account ABC (8) Logged in as JCK. The task pool shows the submission from ABC. (9) The collection administrator JCK can Accept/Reject/Edit the submission of ABC. I was just wondering whether this can be implemented on the production server if the steps look fine. Please suggest since here we have many collections and the DSpace admin account can't manage all submissions.

A collection admin also (by default) does not have the right to submit to the collection they are administering. A collection admin can only modify the collection home page, create an item template (not sure what this is supposed to do), map items from other collections and add/edit submitters. I think a collection administrator should be able to manage all aspects of their collection (this shouldn't be the sole remit of the DSpace administrator). It would make sense for collection admin's to have the following additional permissions controlled from within the collection edit page: - Create/edit submitters - Accept/Reject Step - Accept/Reject/Edit Metadata Step - Edit Metadata Step - Delete a workflow - Collection's Authorizations Perhaps a community administrator (non existent in DSpace?) should have the right to delete a collection? Devolving these tasks to (trained) community and collection administrators where possible would free the DSpace administrator of these chores and thus assist with managing the repository.
