Hello Martyns, the rights for an item are derived from the settings of the collection the item is published in, these are:
DEFAULT_ITEM_READ DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ While you create a collection in the first Describe the Collection Step you will be asked "New items should be publicly readable " per default this is checked, so items and the bitstreams are readable by the group anonymous. So now you got to do 2 things, a) change the policies of existing items which should be publically acessible and b) change the settings of collections for future correct policies. a) In order to change the policies for existing items you can use the "Advanced Policy Admin Tool". b) To assure that newly added items get the right policies you got to change the authorization settings for the collections involved, setting DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ Anonymous DEFAULT_ITEM_READ Anonymous Thus new items and their bitstreams will be accessible. Hope this helps Claudia Jürgen Am 11.03.2015 um 11:09 schrieb Eric Martyns: > Your assistance is greatly required, most file that have been archived in > our Dspace repository > when trying to access these files you will be asked to login before you can > view the file. > Users who are not registered on our repository should be able to have > access to files without > registering or logging in. > How do i resolve this? > Thank you for your usual support. > > Martyns > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored > by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all > things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to > news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
