Hello, As of DSpace 7.6, a new "Bulk Access Management" feature exists which allows you to more easily modify all the Items in a Community / Collection or Sitewide to add/remove/update permissions. See the documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Bulk+Access+Management Screenshots exist in the documentation to show how it works. But you can also try it out on our Demo site at https://demo.dspace.org/
This feature did not exist in 7.5 or earlier.
