Hi Peter, This seems to be exactly what the "Access" step is for (using either the Simple or Advanced settings).
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Embargo#Embargo-AccessStep You should be able to just enable that Access Step. Setting the embargo via that step applies to the entire Item (including metadata), if I recall correctly. By default, if you use the "Simple" version, it'll limit Anonymous READ access (on the Item) so that it starts on the date the embargo ends. If you use the "Advanced" version, you can specify exact groups whose READ access should be limited (just be sure to click the "Confirm Policy & add another" for each embargo policy). I've verified this works properly on the Demo site. Here's an item that I just submitted that is fully embargoed until Friday: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/127 By default, when not logged in, it's not visible (you'll see an "Item is restricted" page). But, if you login as the Admin account on the Demo server, you'll see it exists. - Tim On 4/21/2015 8:32 AM, Peter Dietz wrote: > Hi All, > > I was wondering if anyone has created a way to modify the embargo system > to optionally have a way of also setting "dark" metadata.
