[Dspace-general] Registering publication without associated items.

[Martin Courtois]

Hi MacKenzie,

This is very helpful information, but how would I "set the access
permissions?"  I think I would start here:

Authorization > Manage an Items Policies > Select an Item

At this this point, I think I would want to set "Item Policies" to
Anonymous (so that anyone could view the item record), but set the
"Bundle Policies" and/or "Bitstream Policies" to Collection_[xx]_Admin,
for example, if I wanted to restrict viewing the actual item to
collection administrators.

Is this the best way to do this?  Thanks,

Marty
