[GeoNetwork-devel] How to define privileges on a per Group basis?

Hi All,

I am using GeoNetwork V 2.6.4, and have one question about how to define privileges on a per Group basis.

The document I am looking at is “User and Group Management”, which could be access at:
http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.6.4/eng/users/admin/administration/index.html

I noticed there was the following description about privilege settings:

“Access privileges can be set per metadata record. You can define privileges on a per Group basis. Privileges that can be set relate to visibility of the Metadata (Publish), data Download, Interactive Map access and display of the record in the Featured section of the home page.”

I know how to set the privilege per metadata record, but do not know how to set the privileges for each group. Let’s say I have group A, and wanna set its privilege to Public to All, which means all the records I inserted into group A will be visible to everyone, right? But through GetNetwork portal or service list, I did not find any solution yet.

Thanks in advance.

hi,

indeed it works like that: you can set the privilege per metadata such that e.g. users in group A have view privileges. There is no facility to automatically set privileges for all metadata belonging to a group.

Kind regards
