Streamline UI for community/collection role assignment
------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-510
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-510
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JSPUI, XMLUI
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Dorothea Salo
Ideally, DSpace administrators should never need to know or see the database
name of a group responsible for a given role in a given collection or
community. The only groups they should interact with by name are groups they
create, and the special Administrator and Anonymous groups. (Essentially, I
would like to see the "COLLECTION_{collection's DB ID}_{role name}" names
disappear completely from the UI.)
This would require the following UI changes:
- In the Groups search, return only Administrator, Anonymous, and user-created
groups.
- On the Manage Roles page, remove the middle column that contains the
DSpace-created group names entirely. Move the link to the left-hand column
containing the name of the action.
- In the policy authorization page, only permit Administrator, Anonymous, and
user-created groups in the Groups column. (To make this backward-compatible, it
may be necessary to come up with verbiage for "Submitters/Editors/Collection
Administrators on Collection X" and have DSpace do the database lookup to fill
in the collection name and role.)
It might even be possible to alter the database to remove the proliferation of
DSpace-created groups, and doing so might make it easier to "clone" roles
across collections (very useful!), but I don't have a well-informed opinion on
how feasible or desirable that is, so I'll leave it to the developers to
discuss.
