Hello,

In version 1.6.1 we created a sub-community and a collection in that
sub-community. The same persons & group were given Administrative rights
to the sub-community and collection. Next we used the batch metadata
load to create new records in the collection (therefore these have no
attached bitstreams). The Collection Administrators can do everything to
the new records (edit metadata, delete the records) except adding a new
bitstream. When they attempt to Upload a new bitstream, they receive
this message:

"You need the ADD & WRITE privilege on at least one bundle to be able to
upload new bitstreams."

If we manually create a record and include a bitstream during the
submission process, then the collection administrator upload a new
bitstream and also delete bitstreams. It appears that if the all the
bitstreams are deleted, that person can not then upload a new bitstream.

Only full DSpace Administrators can upload bitstreams to "empty" items.

This is a real problem, because we envision a workflow where the
metadata is batch imported and student-workers/staff then attach the
file(s) or bitstreams. (We have the meta-data in another system which
easily generates csv files. But that old system was just a 'finding aid'
and did not include the bitstreams.)

Is there a work around to this issue? Can this be fixed in later
releases?
