Hi Ben, Two possiblities come to mind right away. Others may have more elegant solutions, that do not require DB or coding changes.
1) In the EPerson table set the "can_log_in" column to false for all users(except the Administrator). This assumes anonymous users can not make any changes to items (default Dspace behaviour). To allow access reset the "can_log_in" flag to the original values. 2) Change the authenticateInternal method in the AuthenticationManager.java class to always return "BAD_ARGS" or "NO_SUCH_USER", etc. to prevent users from logging into Dspace. To allow access again, restore the original authenticateInternal code (and compile and deploy of course).

Does anyone know how I can set dspace temporarily to be a read only system. I will need a quick reversion to a read-write system. We're basically looking to provide access to dspace while we migrate the database and assetstore to another system.
