[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] Collection Authorization for a domain

[Claudia Jürgen]

Hi Sam,

not directly afaik. But you can restrict the access to an item (either 
complete item by DEFAULT_ITEM_READ or just the bitstreams by 
DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ) to a group and then authenticate the users as 
members of the group by domain using this patch 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1566820&group_id=19984&atid=319984 
or creating your own stackable authentication method.

Claudia


P. S. be aware that apart from any restrictions part of the items 
metadata information is allways visible in browse indices and other item 
listings.
