Based on this email thread, I went ahead and made some enhancements to the Discovery documentation (including renaming the feature as "Access Rights Awareness").
The enhanced documentation on how this feature works and how you can disable it are at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Discovery#Discovery-AccessRightsAwareness Feel free to enhance it even more. But, I've tried to at least capture the main hints provided by folks in this thread. - Tim On 1/21/2014 11:48 AM, Tim Donohue wrote: > As a followup to my own email: It looks like it *is* documented how to > disable this Access Rights Awareness feature.
