Hi Damian, Welcome to the DSpace community. You could use the event mechanism, but hopefully the 'special groups' facility will do what you want. It is possible to define 'special groups' that a user becomes a member of if they fit a particular rule. So assuming you want all logged in users to be able to submit to a collection, do the following: - Create a new 'group' for example 'allusers'. Do not add any users to this group. - Assign the group the relevant permissions (e.g. add it as a submitter to each collection) - Edit dspace.cfg and find the key 'password.login.specialgroup' (or ldap.login.specialgroup if you use LDAP authentication) and set the value to 'allusers' or whatever you called your group - Restart tomcat Now, whenever a user logs in, they will temporarily become a member of that group for the duration of their session. However, because these are 'special groups' when you view the group, you will not see a list of members. I hope that helps,

I am trying to implement a system that uses the self subscribe system of Dspace (1.5.2). I would like the users, once validated, to automatically be able to submit to the collections. I was quite surprised to not find a registered group built into Dspace to accommodate this. Or maybe there is any I didn't see it? I mentioned this need to a co-worker who has more experience with Dspace than I. He mentioned that possibly with Dspace's new event model that I might be able to set up some code to run on an eperson creation event (is that the right event?) after the user clicks on the validation link in the final step of the registration process. Then, of course, I would need to access some sort of API to programmatically add this validated user to a group that has submission permission for the collection(s). I have been trying to find some examples of how to do this. Would some kind soul help me with the following (links to docs and/or examples would be GREAT): 1) How to use a Dspace event 2) How would one use an API to programmatically add a user to a group 3) I find it hard to believe that someone hasn't written this already. Self subscription is rather useless without the ability to automatically elevate a validated user to a group other than anonymous. So if there is something out there that would do this already and is available for sharing, I'd be most happy :) Thanks, in advance, for any assistance that you can offer. - Damian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
