[Dspace-general] Collection "Editors"

[Laura Tull]

Hi Marty!

I've just been experimenting with collection administrator role in DSpace 
1. 2.  Yes, the group name is COLLECTION_XX_ADMIN where XX is the DB no. 
assigned to that collection.

I was trying to figure out the policies for each of the functions that 
collection administrators can perform are here is what my experimentation 
shows:

1. Edit submitters and Edit metadata - If you use the new Create Collection 
wizard, and select "This collection will have delegated collection 
administrators", the system automatically assigns the policy 
"COLLECTION_ADMIN" to the group "COLLECTION_XX_ADMIN". This allowed the 
group to "Edit Submitters" and "Edit metadata".
2. Item mapper - I had to manually add a policy of "ADD" for the group to 
make this work.
3. Withdraw items - I had to manually add a policy for "REMOVE" to make 
this work.
4. Edit collection metadata - Even though the documentation says you can do 
this, I haven't figured out a policy that would work for this. Not sure if 
documentation doesn't match what system does. The Admin help on a 
collection page in DSpace 1.2 does not mention this fourth function so I 
have assumed it didn't quite get incorporated. If anyone knows any 
different, let me know.
