<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>Thanks, Andrew.<br>This is the approach I favoured and I have got it working finally but there were some inconsistencies (bugs?) that I thought I should document for the list.<br>These issues are probably specific to dspace 1.5/xmlui/manakin.<br><br>Initially I tried adding the anonymous group through the "assign roles" page under "edit collection" in the manakin interface.<br>That didn't work.<br>Then I went to "edit authorization policies directly", which gives me different information from what I see on the "assign roles" page.<br>So this is perhaps bug number 1.<br>In any case, adding the anonymous group to the submitters group here still does not work.<br>Curiously, when I would go to the collection home page there would be a "submit a new item to this collection" link but it would go to the submission page with no entry in the "select a collection" drop-down list.<br>I still could not submit.<br>Finally I added a new policy explicitly enabling anonymous to "add".<br>This worked.<br>In other words, it was not working when I tried to add anonymous as a group within an existing submitters group, but it did work when I added a separate policy for anonymous.<br>This probably relates to Kim's response dealing with stackable authentication but I haven't yet looked into that.<br><br>Thanks again for your help.<br><br>w<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Andrew White" <Andrew.White@lincoln.ac.nz><br>To: dspace-general@mit.edu<br>Cc: "Wayne Johnston" <wajohnst@uoguelph.ca><br>Sent: Wednesday, February 4, 2009 3:44:06 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern<br>Subject: RE: [Dspace-general] opening a collection to submission to all registered users<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">Is
there a simple way to enable all registered users to submit to a given
collection?<br>
For our e-thesis collection all graduating students will be submitters.<br>
Rather than having each one register and request to be added to the submitter
group, it would be nice if DSpace recognized each student as a valid submitter
as soon as she/he registers.<br>
Am I overlooking a simple solution?<br>
If not, I'm thinking about a nightly routine to add any new users to the
submitter group.<br>
<br>
We are using DSpace 1.5, xmlui/manakin.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
