Larry Stone commented on DS-267:
--------------------------------
I think it's confusing to use the policy actions DEFAULT_ITEM_READ and
DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ to, effectively, store the policies for later deployment
without making any changes that affect the actual access controls. There is
already enough confusion about those actions!
It would be more clear to simply add a new action, "PENDING_READ", and then
just rename every READ to PENDING_READ while the Item is in workspace,
workflow, withdrawn, ...or embargoed. (as you might have guessed, I have an
axe to grind, having implemented the "Harvard" embargo.)
The mechanism you use to implement "withdrawn" status will also work for
embargoes, they are very similar. It is a great improvement, since currently
the reinstatement or lifting of an embargo can only apply the default,
inherited, policies; now you can restore exactly the read policies it had
before being withdrawn or put under embargo.
With a change to a separate action like PENDING_READ, I'm in favor of this
patch. It's kludgy, but so is the whole access policy system.

> At the moment the item policies are derived from the collection settings
> DEFAULT_ITEM_READ and DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ.
> It is not possible to influence the policies during submission only
> afterwards by editing the policies.
> One should have the choice to either use the default inherited policies or
> set policies during submission.
> Selectable policies should be configurable in order for submitters to use
> them.
