Using DSpace 4.1 I want to create a new group and then define access policies where say all the items in a collection are viewable and by users in that group.
Using the AccessControl->Authorization menu then manage community and manage collection policies I have tried adding Read, default_item_read and also default bitstream_read but users in that new group cannot view items already in the collection. I can give access to users in the new group by placing the group in a previously existing group that has access to all the items and then they get access. The trouble is that previous give has attributes that I don't want extended to this new group. Its as though new policies won't extend to previously created objects. Is there perhaps a way of forcing this through with SQL? I tried the Advanced Policy manager only the utility seems to allow one policy for any particular group. The Advance Policy Manager initially appears with the action READ and even if the policy is changed the next time it still appears with READ as the default action and no indication of what a group might previously have been set to. Doesn't sem to work anyway. My basic need is to create a group and give access to all items in a collection to persons in that group. Is there a technique to get this working? -- Keir Vaughan-Taylor ERA DSpace Administrator Rm:123 Fisher Library University of Sydney [email protected] ph:+61 2 9351 7408 mb:+61 434 606 885 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
