[Dspace-general] Restricting Collections

[Angelo Miranda]

Hi,

We developed an insert trigger in the eperson table that verifies the
email domain of the person being registered. If the domain belongs to
our University domain, the person is inserted in a special group that
represent the campus community.
In the communities/collections with restricted access to campus only
that special group has READ access.
In this way, a person has to register with his institutional email to
gain access to restricted collections.
Hope I can help.

I am in the process of writing our policies that we will use to support 
ETDs in DSpace.  This will be our first collection that we will 
implement.  Typically many Universities give their students the
opportunity 
to restrict the web access to their dissertation in several ways.  1)
One 
approach is to limit access to a select group (e.g. limited to the Dean,

the Department head, the Advisors, and the Academic Committee)  I
believe 
that can be accomplished by creating a community and limiting access to 
that community.  2) It might also be made available to anyone searching
the 
database.  3) The one that puzzles me would be making access available
to 
the campus community only.  From what I saw on this list recently, I 
gathered that limiting by I.P. address is not  an option.  Is that a 
correct understanding?  If so, has anyone found a way to address this
issue?

Thanks
