hello guys,
I'm also looking for same guidance or documentation on how to restrict access to DSpace documents. Specifically, I need to: - Make bitstream files accessible only via IP-based authentication (so only users from certain IPs can access them). - For non-IP users, restrict access and provide a "Request a Copy" option. If you found or anyone has experience setting this up or any documentation on how to do it, please share. Would really appreciate any help!
