Tim Donohue commented on DS-228:
--------------------------------
Andrea,
You are correct... I had mistakenly failed to apply the 'dspace-xmlui-api'
patch last Friday. I just applied it this morning, so all those changes
should now be in dspace-trunk. My mistake!
As for your question about the ResourcePolicy API checks in the add/remove
methods of the AuthorizeManager: Locally, I had removed those calls since
they did affect other parts of the system. As I removed them a long time ago,
I forget exactly what the problems were. If you want to add them back in,
feel free...however we should be careful to re-test all the
Community/Collection and System Admin functionality after doing so.
> Community Admin XMLUI: Delegated Admins Patch

> Key: DS-228
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-228
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DSpace API, XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: Tim Donohue
> Fix For: 1.6.0

> Attachments: api-sql-rev1.patch, database_schema_changes.sql,

> This set of patches enables Delegated Administration within the XMLUI. These
> patches were made against the latest DSpace trunk code (as of 12-Jun-2009) in
> preparation for DSpace 1.6.
> WARNING: THESE PATCHES MODIFY THE CORE API OF DSPACE. THEY ALSO MODIFY THE
> UNDERLYING DATABASE STRUCTURE SLIGHTLY.
> Essentially, this adds delegated administration capabilities, and allows
> administrative rights to auto-inherit from Community to Collection to Item to
> Bundle to Bitstream. (So, if you are a Community Admin, you can also
> administer any Collection in that Community or any Item owned by those
> Collections).
> This now creates three main levels of Admins:
> * System Admin - same as before, can add/edit/delete anything
> * Community Admin - Can add/edit anything within a specific Community
> (including sub-communites, collections, items)
> * Collection Admin - Can add/edit anything within a specific Collection
> (including all items)
> There are a few administrative functions which are limited to SYSTEM ADMINS
> ONLY:
> * Delete Communities, Collections or Items
> * Withdraw / Reinstate items
> List of tasks a Community Admin can perform:
> * Can create / edit Community, Sub-Communities, Collections or Items
> within the Community
> * Can add/edit/remove Authorizations/Roles for Community, Sub-Communities
> or Collections
> * Can move items from one collection to another (must have submit
> privileges on the destination Collection)
> * Can create/remove item templates for Collections in that Community
> * CANNOT delete Communities, Sub-Communities, Collections or Items (also
> cannot withdraw/reinstate items)
> * CANNOT change the default read access for Collections
> List of tasks a Collection Admin can perform:
> * Can create / edit Collection or Items within that Collection
> * Can add/edit/remove Authorizations/Roles for that Collection
> * Can move items from one collection to another (must have submit
> privileges on the destination Collection)
> * Can create/remove item templates for that Collection
> * CANNOT delete Collection or Items within it (also cannot
> withdraw/reinstate items)
> * CANNOT change the default read access for Collections
> There are some additional bug fixes and features in this patch:
> - Adds ability to Move items between Collections (any Admin can perform)
> - Item Templates now appear properly in XMLUI
> - Previously, they looked just like normal "Edit Item" screen and
> allowed adding bitstreams, etc. (which doesn't make sense as they are just
> metadata templates)
> Even though the DSpace core API changes should work for any user interface,
> these patches only create the necessary interfaces for the XMLUI. Equivalent
> JSPUI interfaces would need to be created to ensure equal functionality
> across both interfaces.
> This patch is based on an older version of the "Authorization System:
> Delegate Admins" patch, originally created by Andrea Bollini.
