If you are confronted with a large user base, who need custom submission rights, there are many integration opportunities (to avoid manual setting of permissions in DSpace) as long as your repository structure (communities - collections) somehow reflect the structure of your organigram.
To give one practical example, if your repository is organized in communities and collections, reflecting departments, faculties, ... you could hook up DSpace to your staff registry. As the staff registry contains (or should contain) information on who's member of which department, you could automatically transfer that information to DSpace, and determine submission and read rights from there. We did this for K.U. Leuven ( http://lirias.kuleuven.be ). The E-people registry now contains almost 9000 E-People. Manually setting or changing permissions for such a userbase would just be impossible. best regards, Bram Luyten @mire - http://www.atmire.com Technologielaan 9 - 3001 Heverlee - Belgium 533 2nd Street - Encinitas, CA 92024 - USA http://www.togather.eu - Before getting together, get t...@ther On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 5:10 PM, Dorothea Salo <dorothea.s...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 10:05 AM, Wang, Fang <fang.w...@ttu.edu> wrote: > > Thanks, Dorothea.
