---------------------------------------
Summary: Enable private sharing of bitstreams through direct links
that bypass imposed access restrictions
Key: DS-1465
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1465
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: DSpace API
Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)
Attachments: Screen Shot 2013-01-24 at 18.20.14.png
Here is the usecase:
Someone who has the ownership/control/authority over a particular item or one
of its associated bitstreams, could want to allow specific people to bypass the
default embargo's or access restrictions. Instead of forcing this person to
take the file and attach it to an email, I think he or she should have a way to
generate a link that would allow a non-logged in person to download the file
directly.
As a concrete example of other systems with similar functionality, think about
Google Docs access rights, where you can define that "anyone with the link" can
view. (see screenshot).
In a certain sense this usecase is related to "Request a Copy"
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RequestCopy
The big difference is that request a copy is only a part of this usecase. The
need to share here is generated by a particular person requesting a copy.
While a professor might want to share one particular paper with his students,
by sending them a direct link.
In certain usecases, there may be a need to put certain limitations on the link:
- automatic expiry of the direct link after a number of days
- automatic expiry of the link after a certain number of downloads
