Hi Layale,
I don't think there are really any built-in batch processes for working with
bitstream permissions.
I've mentioned this before, and I don't want to spam the list with it too much,
but I'm working on a tool that helps set up a scripting environment for DSpace
using the JRuby programming language. This tool allows one to access the DSpace
core API and perform actions within a DSpace system.
The tool is available here: https://github.com/kardeiz/dscriptor
I've added an example script for your situation here (note that this file would
require some modification, and I am not exactly sure what you mean by
"[changing] according to the publication date"):
https://github.com/kardeiz/dscriptor/blob/master/examples/change_policies_conditionally.rb.
The documentation is still somewhat sparse, and using the tool does require
some programming knowledge, but if you are familiar with Java or Ruby (or a
similar scripting language), I encourage you to take a look.
Please note that this tool has the potential to cause unwanted changes to your
system, so please be careful. If you choose to use it, I encourage you to run
the script on a test environment first and backup your database before running
in production.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Authorization of DSpace items...
Importance: High
Hello All,
As far as I know, authorizations in DSpace are usually set for a community, or
collection, or even at the item level. If we setup the authorization for a
collection, then we load data, all items inherit that setup before loading, and
we cannot globally change the authorization for those items.
Currently, on the DSpace instance I am working on (version 4.2), all item
bitstreams are not accessible by users; however, I need to change the
authorization of those bitstreams to be (Anonymous) according to the
publication date.
How can this be done? Is there any add-on that can help me changing the access
authorization of an item bitstream? Or any script to do so on a set of items
instead of going at each item?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards.
