Hi Mark, DSpace is supposed to inherit Admin permissions automatically. So, if you are an Admin of a Community, it also means you should be an Admin of all Sub-Communities, Collections or Items within that Community.
Can you let us know what version of DSpace are you using? It's possible you may be running into a bug in an old version of DSpace. - Tim On 1/10/2011 8:32 AM, Mark Melia wrote: > Hi all, > > Perhaps a better example might help here. > > I have a top level community - Faculty of Engineering and Computing - in > this community there is a sub-community - School of Civil Engineering. > The faculty dean has administrative privileges on the collections > directly in the Faculty community but these privileges do not seem to > extend on down to the School of Civil Engineering collections. > > Does anyone know if this is how DSpace is meant to behave.
