Hi: Thanks for trying to solve my problem, but this wasn't leading me anywhere.
I found the way to satisfy the authorization check was to go into the Authorizations -> Advanced Policy Manager and select the collection, Item Type=Bitstream, Group=collection_##_admin, Action=ADD as well as collection, Item Type=Bitstream, Group=collection_##_admin, Action=WRITE. (Theoretically it could be any group, as long as the user you are trying to grant privileges to belongs to it). I'm _not_ sure if I still needed to provide the individual item permissions as well that I previously attempted (i.e. the permissions on the item Bundle); that would be a good thing to confirm so that we can document this once and for all. At least until the steps change :) Dan On 16/07/07, Jayan Chirayath Kurian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I assume that in the Submission Workflow for example the account X is > selected as the Collection Administrator.
