[Hardik Mishra]

Hello Dianne,

--> You  should be posting this on the general list.

Second ,

You are not doing anything wrong , it works in the way you described.

Another thing is that indirectly you gave good suggestion which is to be
discussed

Hello,



Please advise me if I should be posting this on the general list.


I am trying to understand how the authorizations work.  I have created two
communities each with collections.  I have removed < anonymous read >
privileges to all collections, because a login is required to see the items.
I understand that removing anonymous read privileges are not retroactive.
Here is what is happening:



When I access the database, without logging in:

I see the communities listed.

If I click on "Communities and Collections", I see the list of collections.

If I click on any of them, it is restricted - I am asked to login.  Good so
far.

If I click on "by issue date", or "title", etc., I see the list of titles.
If I click on a title, it is restricted and I am asked for a login.



My question is:  Why am I seeing the titles?  If my collection is
restricted, people should not be seeing any part of the collection. I even
wonder if the list of communities and collections should display. Is this
the way the database works, or am I doing something wrong?



Thank you!



Dianne
