[Dspace-general] Policies for workflow steps

[Laura Tull]

Finally we are in production at: http://kb.osu.edu with our Knowledge Bank. 
By production I mean that we moved to the Linux mainframe, have installed 
our customizations and our now working with some exciting units on campus.

However, I started getting reports from people who have workflow step 2 
assigned to their collections that they are getting the "Authorization 
required" message whenever they try to View/Open the file or Approve it. We 
are still on v. 1.1.1 on the production server.  I also tested on our 
development server, which has 1.2, and same problem.

To work around the problem, I manually added authorizations for 
COLLECTION_XX_WFSTEP_2 for READ, WRITE and ADD. I have never had to do that 
before. (Don't know if this is associated with move to Linux mainframe or not).

Our programmer is investigating further but for now I just wanted to verify 
that I wasn't dreaming and that when I created the workflow step, the 
system automatically gave permissions to the epeople in that group to do 
what they had to do.
