We have the situation where one of our Colleges has a research facilitator who will, among other things, assist our faculty and researchers by entering their data into DSpace for them. Is it possible for that person to specify (during submission) the user for whom they are submitting the item on behalf of? The SWORD deposit seems to have this behavior, but I couldn't find anything similar withing the XMLUI configuration.
Alternatively, is there an easy way (preferably though XMLUI) to change the owner post-submission? It looks like I could update the submitter_id in the items table, but I was hoping there might be a way for someone I've granted admin rights on a collection/community to do it via the web interface. Having someone willing to assist faculty by uploading their stuff is helpful, especially since we are trying to increase adoption of our IR, but it would be nice if the faculty themselves could login and make any necessary corrections later on. If we could change the ownership of the items back to the faculty member, then they'd be able to easily find the items listed under the submissions. I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions here. Oh, this is DSpace 5.5, XMLUI on RHEL7.
