Community Admin XMLUI: Delegated Admins Patch
----------------------------------------------
Key: DS-228
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-228
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: DSpace API, XMLUI
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Tim Donohue
Attachments: dspace-api.patch, dspace-xmlui-api.patch,
dspace-xmlui-webapp.patch
This set of patches enables Delegated Administration within the XMLUI. These
patches were made against the latest DSpace trunk code (as of 12-Jun-2009) in
preparation for DSpace 1.6.
WARNING: THESE PATCHES MODIFY THE CORE API OF DSPACE
Essentially, this adds delegated administration capabilities, and allows
administrative rights to auto-inherit from Community to Collection to Item to
Bundle to Bitstream. (So, if you are a Community Admin, you can also
administer any Collection in that Community or any Item owned by those
Collections).
This now creates three main levels of Admins:
* System Admin - same as before, can add/edit/delete anything
* Community Admin - Can add/edit anything within a specific Community
(including sub-communites, collections, items)
* Collection Admin - Can add/edit anything within a specific Collection
(including all items)
There are a few administrative functions which are limited to SYSTEM ADMINS
ONLY:
* Delete Communities, Collections or Items
* Withdraw / Reinstate items
List of tasks a Community Admin can perform:
* Can create / edit Community, Sub-Communities, Collections or Items within
the Community
* Can add/edit/remove Authorizations/Roles for Community, Sub-Communities or
Collections
* Can move items from one collection to another (must have submit privileges
on the destination Collection)
* Can create/remove item templates for Collections in that Community
* CANNOT delete Communities, Sub-Communities, Collections or Items (also
cannot withdraw/reinstate items)
* CANNOT change the default read access for Collections
List of tasks a Collection Admin can perform:
* Can create / edit Collection or Items within that Collection
* Can add/edit/remove Authorizations/Roles for that Collection
* Can move items from one collection to another (must have submit privileges
on the destination Collection)
* Can create/remove item templates for that Collection
* CANNOT delete Collection or Items within it (also cannot
withdraw/reinstate items)
* CANNOT change the default read access for Collections
There are some additional bug fixes and features in this patch:
- Adds ability to Move items between Collections (any Admin can perform)
- Item Templates now appear properly in XMLUI
- Previously, they looked just like normal "Edit Item" screen and
allowed adding bitstreams, etc. (which doesn't make sense as they are just
metadata templates)
Even though the DSpace core API changes should work for any user interface,
these patches only create the necessary interfaces for the XMLUI. Equivalent
JSPUI interfaces would need to be created to ensure equal functionality across
both interfaces.
