Page History

The repository administrator, John, is preparing a new collection for the Biology department which will start using the repository in the near future. While John is still configuring the new collection, he has chosen to only show the new collection to administrators and specific users. The collection is hidden for everyone else. John has done so by restricting access to the "Default read access" role.

Please note that while this collection is hidden, it's information and items are also not available in the OAI-PMH endpoints and in the REST API. Furthermore, the collection is not shown on the home page or on the community list.

Once John has finished configuring the collection, he removes the restriction on the "Default read access" role. Anonymous users can now see the collection and view associated items.

When creating a community or collection, allow inaccessible collections and communities to be hidden from users who will not have access to the contents.
