Theodoropoulos,
For our submissions we normally restrict to either a set of email
addresses (we get the submitter email address in the 'SuE' field in
curdir) or to membership of (an) email list(s) - at CERN the user's
profile contains the list of Simba or (now) e-group lists that a user
belongs to.
We apply this restriction by having - on a submission page the first and
last fields as response elements - which if the user is NOT allowed to
proceed, will put a message on the screen 'Sorry but...' and which comment
out the intermediate fields i.e.
So the html source becomes..
You ([email protected]) are not authorized to use this submission. If
you believe that you should be able to use it then please contact
[email protected]. <!--
....
....
....
-->
The <!-- and the --> hide all the stuff in between (but you may also have
to hide some of the stuff in between by the same method if the html
contains '--'.
We could have used the more standard Invenio access roles but we have
found this not to be flexible enough. i.e. we sometimes restrict
submissions not only depending on who the user is but also depending (for
modifications to documents i.e.) on the document itself. In some cases
we restrict certain fields to modify or enter depending on who the user
is.
Of course you could handle these restrictions by the use of websumit
functions - but then the user would first enter data and then be told
'Sorry...' which is not so nice....
regards
Tony Osborne
