Hi: I chatted briefly with Rob Tansley about this on IRC, but I thought I would post to the list and see if I'm overlooking something.
I'm attempting to grant a user the ability to add more files to a single document. The context is that the document is a book, and the author wants to be able to add chapters as they are completed so that it is an open work in progress. We're running DSpace 1.4.1 at the moment. In the process of trial and error, I added the user to the Collection Admin group for the collection in which the document appears. That wasn't enough; so I gave the user ADD and WRITE permissions on the item Bundle; that wasn't enough. I can't see any further permissions that I can add through the Item Policy editor. When the user tries to add an item, however, they receive an error message that they are not authorized to perform that action. The log file contains the following exception: authorize_error:org.dspace.authorize.AuthorizeException: Authorization denied for action WRITE on BITSTREAM:176 by user 6 But of course, I can't grant permissions to the user on the bitstream in advance because that is simply the next bitstream in sequence - it doesn't exist until the user attempts to upload it. From reading the pertinent code[1], it seems that the only way to add files to a document is if you are a DSpace administrator - and I really don't want to open things up this wide for a single user. Am I missing something obvious here? Or is DSpace not set up to enable this sort of granular authorization scheme? 1. http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/trunk/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authorize/AuthorizeManager.java?revision=1957&view=markup, method authorize(), clause "if isAdmin(c) { return true; } Thanks, -- Dan Scott Laurentian University ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
