The question here is how can you tell apart:
a) when the user is denied access due to not being logged in (in which case the 
login box should be displayed); and
b) when the user is denied access due to embargo (in which case you don't want 
to display the login box)

Yes, this is our dilemma. We can't tell them apart; but in our repository 
everyone has view access unless embargoed. Therefore only Administrators should 
have access. In which case they can login via the My Account panel we have on 
the right hand navigation.

Yes, now it does.

The question here is how can you tell apart:
a) when the user is denied access due to not being logged in (in which case the 
login box should be displayed); and
b) when the user is denied access due to embargo (in which case you don't want 
to display the login box)

Do you still use the original 1.6 embargo as opposed to simplified embargo 
introduced in DSpace 3? In that case which metadata field stores the 
information that there is/isn't an embargo?
