[Dspace-general] What's working and what isn't?

[Claudia Juergen]

Hi Christina,



It is meanwhile possible to move at items via the DSpace UI.

There is a patch for moving collections in the patch queue, but I haven't
tried it yet. If you do, it would be great to have some feedback.

As for authorizations, in standard use cases you do not need to know the
default authorization group names i.e. while creating or editing a dspace
object.

The best practice with regards to authorizations is to use your own
groups, even if they just consist of 0-1 member at the beginning, i.e.
while setting up new structures using standard groups. Thus e.g. staff
changes are little trouble.

Sunny greetings

Claudia
