Hello,

Sorry for the lack of information previously, so buried in the issue 
that I forgot people wouldn't know! :)

What we are after is to make our current DSpace (version 1.7.1 using 
Mirage) installation completely read-only, no submissions of new items 
and no edits of old. We've been told we need to migrate the data to a 
new system so need to baseline it for the export.

I've only been using DSpace for a few months having inherited it for the 
upgrade to 1.7.1 so detailed instructions for a newby would be good if 
possible. ;)

Many thanks to Matt for his response so far.

kind regards,
Claire
