I guess that the outside users can contact admin via the feedback form http://{your_hostname}/dspace/feedback - a link that appears in the footer of your DSpace webpages. You have to set the feedback recipient from the dspace config file ({your_dspace_install_path}/config/dspace.cfg) and the "feedback.recipient" option.

Now, what can be done so that a user can contact the dspace admin?

One more thing I need is that new users need not be registered..meanwhile outside users should have a provision to contact the Dspace admin.

For this: 1) Go to file: {your_jspui_webapp_path}/components/login-form.jsp 2) Comment out line 21 which prints the link to the register servlet Best regards Kostas -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 7:39 AM To: dspace-tech Subject: [Dspace-tech] Lock down user regn. in dspace jspui Hi all, We want a closed user-community for DSpace, where the DSpace admin will be creating user accounts and distributing them to users. So, under JSPUI, how does one lock down User Registration so that only the admin can create user accounts? Under XMLUI, it looks like there's the following configuration: xmlui.user.registration false However, I haven't found an equivalent configuration under JSPUI. Please let me know how we can lock down user registration in jspui. Thanks again for your time.
