Hi helix84, Thanks for the quick reply . I got a clue. But- Does it mean to say tht- 1. if I have a collection containing items and if I change the authorization(bitstream reading) of the collection to a set of users, it does not affect each item? In otherwords, 2. if I have a collection containing items, and I want the set of users to have a bitstream read access, I need change the authorization for each n every item manually/one by one?
Actually my situation is the same as above. I have few collections with the item/bundle/bitstream with in it. And I had not set any restriction while creating the collection. Now I want to give a bitstream reading access to a set of users(group). How do I do it? !

So you have to set it for every _existing_ item and bitstream individually. AFAIK there's no way how to do that from the user interface. I think this snippet from @Mire describes it quite succintly: When a new item gets archived in the repository, it inherits the default policies for an item, defined by the collection in which the item is archived. It's important to realize that these policies can altered for each item, bundle or bitstream, without altering other items or collection properties. Policies are really tied to items, bundles and bitstreams. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=180273568767 I hope that explains your question.
