We should better document how to turn off/on Access Rights Awareness. I *believe* it's a matter of commenting out this setting (but it's unclear to me as well, and I don't know enough about this feature):
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/spring/api/discovery.xml#L25 To clarify here, different institutions definitely have different use cases for DSpace, and often based on the use case they may have differing opinions of this feature. There are institutions who are adamantly in favor of Access Rights Awareness (as they do NOT want Google/Google Scholar to index items whose metadata is private -- e.g. some of those items may be private records or embargoed and they do not wish them to be discoverable at all). There are also insitutions (which Jeff & helix84 are members) who are adamantly against Access Rights Awareness (as they want Google to index all metadata, whether that item is private or public or embargoed). So, Access Rights Awareness is probably something we need to better document & also better document how to disable it if you favor exposing *all* metadata as publicly searchable/browsable. - Tim On 1/21/2014 11:12 AM, helix84 wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > here's how you can turn Access Rights Awareness off: > > https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1229?focusedCommentId=25563&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-25563 > > I also find it unfortunate that it's on by default. > > > Regards, > ~~helix84 > > Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
