[Dspace-general] Re: Do I understand authorizations? (Take 2) (Mark Jordan)

Mark,

We just reviewed the authorizations here at the Becker Library the past few
days so I think I have somewhat of a handle on it.

By default, when you create a Workflow 2 group, any group you assign to the
Workflow can edit the metadata. The E-People or the group you assign to the
Workflow do not need any specific authorization to participate in the
Workflow.

In order to add a submission to the Archive, the final Workflow step MUST
have the ADD authorization assigned to it. If it is the only Workflow that
you have assigned to the Collection, it must also have the ADD
authorization assigned to it. Without the ADD authorization, the submission
will not be added to the collection.

Here is my suggestion for your situation, if you don't mind:

- Assign the Gatekeepers group to the Workflow 2 group for your collection.
- Assign the ADD authorization to the Workflow 2 group for your collection.

This way the Gatekeepers group can reject the submission, edit the
metadata, and add the submission to the archive.

There are certain limitations to the Admin Web interface with the current
DSpace version. We can hope it will be improved with the new version.
