#889: Add 'Remote service manager' to the profile otions of a registered user
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: johnh | Owner: geonetwork-devel@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: v2.7.0
Component: User interface (web) | Version:
Keywords: |
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
There are five profiles for a registered user, "Administrator", "Editor",
"Registered user", "Content reviewer" and "User administrator". If a user
wants to register so that they can add the service details of a node to be
harvested, none of these profiles suite this purpose. If another profile
of "Remote service manager" was available it would allow a user to
identify that they want to register a remote service to be harvested or a
service that can be remotely searched.
The email address would be used to contact the remote service provider if
harvesting or remote searching of that service stopped working. This could
be managed by the work that Jose García and Jesse Eichar have been doing
on monitoring and sequential harvesting.
A new field would need to be added to identify the service. eg. "Service
identifier = 'osp'". When the GN "Adminstrator" is notified by email that
the new registered user wants to register a service for harvesting or
remote search the 'Adminsitrator' would then create an 'osp-nodeManager'
user in a new 'ops-node' group for the 'osp' service metadata to be
created. The Administrator would then notify the 'osp' remote service
manager of the new user and group and he or she can then create service
metadata for that group.
The "Remote service manager" could then use the 'osp-nodeManager' user to
create service metadata that contains details of the service that can be
harvested or remotely searched.
Once the remote service manager has created the service metadata and
notified the Administrator of the service metadata then the Adminstrator
can add that service to be either harvested or added to the remote search
list.
Add "Remote service manager" to the list of profiles that a user can
choose when registering.
Add an extra field called "Service identifier' to the self registration
interface that can be used to identify the service. Add a mouse over note
that the 'Service identifier' value should not have any spaces. eg. 'osp'
for Office of Spatial Policy.
