Hello Justice, hmm, it does work, I actually tried it out. It was unnecessary to clear the collection policies, you might have cleared more than you wanted. I would not recommend manipulate the policies in the database.
You may try one other easy UI based way, if the collections in question does not contain too many items. It is moving the items to a new collection and inherit the collection policies. So create a new Collection with the "New items should be publicly readable " checked and all the other things like submitters, workflow and template you need. If your original collection has a customized input form, add it to the form map. Same with other collection based customizations. Now log in as admin, go to the old collection, choose an item Edit -> Move Item -> Choose the new collection to move too AND check "Inherit default policies of destination collection" Hope this helps Claudia Jürgen Am 13.03.2018 um 08:59 schrieb Justice Kasiroori: Hi Claudia Thank you for the detailed instructions. *Unfortunately* I have tried everything you said BUT its not changing. Here is what I did. 1. I cleared the collection's policies just to make sure that I do not miss anything and that I have only the policies I needed. After doing so I checked the collection's page and it had this message: *This collection is restricted. You do not have the credentials to access the restricted collection [Collection Name here].*2. I changed the DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ and DEFAULT_ITEM_READ to Anonymous * Log in as admin -> Edit collection -> Collection's Authorizations-> Add a new policy-> DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ and DEFAULT_ITEM_READ to Anonymous *3. I checked under Edit collection -> Assign Roles Tab under the Default Read access. It had this message: *Default read for incoming items and bitstreams is currently set to Anonymous. E-People and Groups that can read new items submitted to this collection. Changes to this role are not retroactive. Existing items in the system will still be viewable by those who had read access at the time of their addition. *The collection's home page still indicated that the collection was restricted. 4. Still logged in as admin: Administer -> AccessControl Authorization-> Advanced/ItemWildcard Policy Admin Tool And I did the following as per instruction: Select Collection ChooseContent Type - Item Choose Group - Anonymous Choose Action - READ Repeat this step with Content Type - Bitstream *Still no change. The collection is still restricted.* 5. I added READ access to Anonymous * Log in as admin -> Edit collection -> Collection's Authorizations-> Add a new policy-> READ to Anonymous *The collection is no longer resticted BUT *nothing comes out. THE CHANGES ARE STILL NOT BEING APPLIED TO THE EXISTING ITEMS*I have tried this with two different collections but the results are the same. Maybe I am missing a step or there could a step which is not stated explicitly, or perhaps a setting? I am now at my wits end. Perhaps it would be easier if I were to do it directly in SQL. Has anyone changed authorisation's using the database directly? Any help would be appreciated.

If you have unchecked "New items should be publicly readable" while creating a collection, both item and bitstreams will be restricted. In order to have the item page and the bitstreams for already ingested and future items visible you got to do 2 things 1. Change the default settings for the collection, for newly submitted items Log in as admin -> Edit collection -> Collection's Authorizations There change the DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ and DEFAULT_ITEM_READ to Anonymous 2. Change the item and bitstream policies for existing items in a collection log in as admin -> Administer -> AccessControl Authorization-> Advanced/ItemWildcard Policy Admin Tool Now Select Collection ChooseContent Type - Item Choose Group - Anonymous Choose Action - READ Repeat this step with Content Type - Bitstream Hope this helps Claudia Jürgen Am 12.03.2018 um 14:17 schrieb Justice Kasiroori: Hi All I have the same problem here. I want to set READ policy to a collection to in retrospective. I want to provide access to everyone ( READ privileges to Anonymous). I tried using the Advanced Policy Manager but still the collection is restricted. I am using DSpace 6.2 and Postgresql. I tried it using the XMLUI and the JSPUI but the changes are not being applied to the collection. I have tried following the steps provided by the DSpace wiki < https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSpaceDirectKB/Getting+Started+How-To> but still the changes are not being applied. I m willing to use SQL to change the authorisation. If someone has a working SQL script for DSpace 6.x please help.

You can use the advanced policy manager.
