<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a way to completely lock down certain
communities in Dspace?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are facing a situation where we would like some
communities (already in the database with items)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to be searchable, viewable and generally accessible
only by the internal university network and also by specific groups and people.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem is that although we have applied strict
permissions to this community and its subcommunities-collections</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to be accessible only by specific groups in Dspace,
the search results, and also some other material (such as the
"recent</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>additions" section when one accesses a collection
inside the restricted community) are always readable by anyone and also are
getting indexed by other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>search engines, such as google. Search results in
this community can also be performed and viewed by anyone</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We can supposedly disable the indexing from other
search engines with robots.txt but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is there a way to make a community visible only by
specific groups inside Dspace? By "visible only by specific groups" I
mean</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that nobody other should be able to access the
community/collections in whole either by the search results, or by anywhere
else</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>unless she/he provides a valid username and
password.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kind Regards,</FONT></DIV>
