Hello Henry, it is possible, just follow these steps (these are for XMLUI): 1) log in as administrator 2) put your users who should be have access into a group 3a) first try this with an individual item: open the item you want to protect, choose Edit this item, Authorizations and for each file edit it's access rights 3b) when you verify it works on an individual item, you can change authorizations of whole collections using the Access control - Authorizations - Click here to go to the item wildcard policy admin tool 4) remove bitstream read access from the Anonymous group (which represents all users including those who are not logged in) 5) add bitstream read access to your new group 6) that covered existing items; to ensure all newly submitted items will have this policy, edit the collections which contains them and set the same access rights; again, you can use the wildcard policy admin tool Before you do these changes, make sure to back up your database. It's very likely you won't be able to get it to work on the first attempt, so make sure you can revert the repository to a working state. You can also back up your assetstore, but if you will be changing only access rights and not adding/removing bitstreams, you don't need to touch the assetstore (all access rights are stored in the database).
