If there is a pattern that lets you decide who should have access based on item
metadata you could write code
you could do something along the lines of
find item
determine netid
create person if not exists
create group if not exists and add person
for all original bitstreams in item
set bitstream read to group
For this type of scripting I use jruby and a gem I developed that allows me to
access the DSpace objects in the Java API from ruby code. The gem interacts
with dspace version 5 and is available from github: jrdspace
gem<https://github.com/akinom/dspace-jruby
<https://github.com/akinom/dspace-jruby>>. you can see the scripts I developed
at cli-dspace<https://github.com/akinom/dspace-cli
<https://github.com/akinom/dspace-cli>>. For example I have a create script
that given a first name , last name and netid creates an EPerson record -
see
https://github.com/akinom/dspace-cli/blob/master/netid/create.rb#L13-L21
<https://github.com/akinom/dspace-cli/blob/master/netid/create.rb#L13-L21>
If you are interested in using this - I’d be glad to answer any question you
have.
Alternatively you could make this a curation task that you then allow to run on
communities, collections, as well as individual items. the DSpace Wiki has
documentation HERE <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/CurationSystem>
