I'm sorry. The problem that I'm thinking of happens when a person with write authorization on a community tries to add a subcommunity or a collection to that community.
Just out of curiosity, Jeff, what happens when you give the staff member full authorizations on the specific item and the bundles in the item? There's a bit in the Dspace Overview documentation (http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=149) which says that permissions don't commute: "Permissions must be explicit - lack of an explicit permission results in the default policy of 'deny'. Permissions also do not 'commute'; for example, if an e-person has READ permission on an item, they might not necessarily have READ permission on the bundles and bitstreams in that item." I'm wondering if you have to give the staff member full permissions on the items and bundles, as well. Keith Gilbertson wrote: > Jeff - > > I've seen this as well.
