Hi Stewart,
I think a curation task will do just the trick.
I've created one that is able to identify the appropriate items. Now I'm
trying to set their policies.
Is it appropriate do do this through the Authorization Manager or directly
through the Item.
In either case, I think I need to obtain the context to be able to do this,
but I am unsure how to do so.
You said that you have classes that change policies; how did you accomplish
this?
Thank You for your help.
