[Dspace-tech] Export archive "restricted"?

[Alan Orth]

All,

I've got a community admin who is trying to export metadata from his 
community as a CSV.  He's an admin of the community and he's logged in 
but DSpace tells him that "Export of this archive is restricted".  If I 
log in as myself it works (I'm the super admin!).

Anyone have an idea what I've presumably misconfigured?  helix84? ;)

Thanks!

It saves time to list the exact wording ("This export archive is restricted.").

Here's what the comment at that place in code says:

// The user does not have read access to this bitstream. Interrupt
this current request
// and then forward them to the login page so that they can be
authenticated. Once that is
// successful they will request will be resumed.

I don't use that functionality, so I don't know what's wrong. One
guess I would take is - if you made the export and he's trying to
download it, he probably can't (although I'm not sure your export
would show up in his "My Exports"). Is the message the same when he
tried to do the export as opposed to downloading the export?

BTW you may test the functionality on demo.dspace.org. From my test,
it works (both exporting and downloading the export).

[Alan Orth]

Thanks, helix.  My memory of the exact error wording wasn't as good as I 
thought!  :)

In my experience the "Export Metadata" link directly downloads a CSV 
file; I don't see "My Exports"...?

I'll try to replicate this experiment on demo.dspace.org.

Thanks,

Alan

[Alan Orth]

Responding to myself here,

It seems that you must be a super admin in order to export meta data 
from a collection.  ie, community- and collection-level admins cannot 
export metadata from their communities / collections unless they are 
also top-level admins.

Hi Alan,

I admit I did only a single test on demo where I exported a community using
the community admin's account, but the test was successful, as you can
still see when you look at that account's "My Exports".

I used the "dspacedemo+commad...@gmail.com" account to export the following
community (which he's an admin of):
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/1

What did you do differently while testing on demo? Are you sure the
community or collection admin you tried was really an admin for that
particular community/collection?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Export archive "restricted"?

[Alan Orth]

Helix,

I just did a more-thorough test on demo.dspace.org.  I added Demo 
Community Administrator as an administrator of the "haris community" [1] 
and Demo Collection Administrator as an administrator of the "haris 
collection" [2].  When either are logged in, there's a new menu item 
that appears in their respective community/collection: Context -> Export 
Metadata. Despite the option appearing, neither of them are able to 
actually export the meta data; the error message is as before, " This 
export archive is restricted."


Note, I'm not exporting communities or collections, just the metadata; 
it seems you must be a site-wide administrator to be allowed to export 
meta data as a CSV.  I'm not sure why the option appears if it's not 
allowed...


Hope that clarifies and possibly helps someone else.
