Re: [Dspace-tech] Edit Item Template Error
Hi Claudia, Are you trying this as instance admin or with a different role? I'm a member of the main Administrator group, so I assume that means I am an instance admin. Did you change any of the dspace.cfg delegation setting in this section # Authorization system configuration - Delegate ADMIN # especially #core.authorization.community-admin.collection.template-item = true #core.authorization.collection-admin.template-item = true No, I hadn't changed either of these from the installation defaults, although I note that collection-admin.template-item was false (by default?) - anyway, I tried changing this to true, and I also uncommented the community-admin.collection.template-item=true line, just to make this explicit (you never know!). Unfortunately neither of these changes appeared to have any effect :-( On a vanilla instance of 1.6.2 jspui this works fine for the instance administrator and a collection administrator (default, no delegation rules set). OK, so, as I guessed, this isn't an issue generally, so presumably has something to do with the fact that this is a migrated instance - I set up a dev 1.6.2 alongside our old live v1.4, made all our local changes and additions on 1.6 (Request a copy, home grown auth module, and a few other minor bits and pieces), and then migrated 1.4 to 1.6 by copying over the assetstore and other key directories, pgdumping the 1.4 database, deleting the 1.6 DB and copying over the 1.4 DB and running the upgrade scripts (including removing the spurious constraints) - after re-indexing, everything seemed to be working fine - this is the first major problem I've hit . . . . Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this behaviour? Any assistance very welcome!
