Allow media filter to set non-default permissions on derivative bitstreams --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-740 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-740 Project: DSpace Issue Type: New Feature Components: DSpace API Reporter: Stuart Lewis At present, derivative bitstreams created by filter-media all take on the authZ policies of their parent item. In some cases, such as locked images, the thumbnail could still be open. >From a recent thread on dspace-tech. It seems as if this would make a useful >feature if we can agree on a set of requirements: Hi George, Thanks for your reply. Do you have open access to any of your content or is it all restricted? We have a mix which makes running the filter-media etc scripts interesting. Ideally the solution would be to set permissions at a collection level for each of the types of bundles. The item permissions would then inherit from the collection, or override if policies are set on individual items.. I don't seem to be able to do that (1.5). For reference, heres the (cutdown) SQL. This will update all thumbnail bitstream policies and set them to anonymous. We only had to do it for one group though. If you want to update intermediates, change THUMBNAIL to BRANDED_PREVIEW. update resourcepolicy set epersongroup_id=0 where policy_id in ( select rp.policy_id from resourcepolicy rp, bundle2bitstream bb, bundle b where b.name='THUMBNAIL' and b.bundle_id=bb.bundle_id and bb.bitstream_id=rp.resource_id ); cheers, Steve On 04/11/2010, at 11:59 PM, George Stanley Kozak wrote: Steve: This is the way that thumbnails have worked for me at my site (we have been using DSpace since 2003). It can be frustrating. Your solution is interesting. I never thought about going into SQL to update the policies on the thumbnail bundles. I am not sure if there are any other solutions.

However we want the thumbnails and branded previews to still show up for the general public. When we run the thumbnail generator, it seems to inherit the permissions from the main bitstream, which means if the bitstream is protected, the thumbnail doesn't show up unless you are logged in and have the appropriate permission. Is this a common situation? We've inherited this instance so it might be a change made by people before us, but if anyone has addressed this, it would be great to hear from you. thanks, Steve -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
