Request Copy function for XMLUI; would allow author of item to give viewing
privs to restricted item
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-824
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-824
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Documentation, Language Packs, XMLUI
Reporter: Brian Freels-Stendel
Priority: Trivial
The University of Minho developed a patch that gives this functionality in
JSPUI: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RequestCopy .
In implementing it for the XMLUI, I would like to alter the functionality so
that the process looks something like:
a. User clicks on restricted item link
b. System responds with current behavior, adding a link/button to request
privs to view item
c. Clicking link to request privs to view item sends e-mail to author of
item: includes Yes or No options
d. Clicking yes sends e-mail to User with link to view item
e. Clicking on link creates 'ghost' group with read access to item, including
associated bitstreams. (Probably time-limited; one month?)
This process would improve on the original process of sending the bitstreams to
the User via e-mail; large documents often exceed outgoing mail limits, or
incoming mailbox size restrictions. However, it also presents possible
problems in trying to bypass the authorization system.
I'm just starting to trace paths into the guts of XMLUI, so the general process
is still in flux. I'd welcome any input, particularly regarding how to
temporarily grant viewing privs to the restricted bitstreams.
