Hi Pushkin, the documentation for the IPAuthentication plugin: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-IPAuthentication Using this plugin, you can put clients from an IP range into a certain DSpace group. You can then use permissions on individual items to allow/deny access to that group as needed. In your case, you want to remove the READ permission from the Anonymous group from all items and add the READ permission for your IP-based group to any items you need. Also beware of this pitfall (you can also read there how to change permissions in bulk): https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/TechnicalFaq#TechnicalFaq-Ichangedaccessrestrictionsonacollection,butrestrictionsdidn'tchangeonitsitems Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
