Thank you, Richard. This will be very useful. I'd like to clarify my understanding of embargo and what you mean by an "active collection" by explaining how we are currently using it.
One of our collections contains items for which the bitstreams are to be accessible only to users coming from certain IP ranges. I wrote a custom embargo setter that adds read permissions for the group to which users authenticated via the IPAuthentication plugin are added. Based on the testing I have done, this works just fine immediately after the records are imported--the permissions are appropriately set, and access is controlled as expected. My question is, does this sounds like an appropriate use of the embargo plugin, or is there a better approach to this? The reason I like the embargo plugin for this case is that access to the bitstreams is only restricted for a specific period of time. The embargo lifter allows us to update the permissions without having to manually intervene. Thanks for you assistance. -- Dave On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 1:02 PM, Richard Rodgers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Dave: > > It depends on you comfort-level working with java source code.
