MyDSpace page
During login, if the user is not yet related with a Researcher Page, the application looks for a match based on the current user’s email or ORCID; The system could be also configured to accept other rules for matching, see https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace/config/spring/cris/cris-postlogin.xml
if a match is found, the application automatically connects the user with the RP with the same email or ORCID;
If the user can’t be related with a Researcher Page, in the MyDSpace page a list of possible matches is showed; the application search by full name (or at least by last name) to retrieve these matches. This query could be filtered changing the configuration, see https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L2332
Researcher Profile page
The "claim" button appears if the following conditions are met (all in logical AND):
1. claim enabled by configuration: in cris.cfg ( [dspace]/modules/cris.cfg)
Property | Description |
rp.claim.enabled | Activate/deactivate the claim profile; default is false = claim inactive |
2. current user has no right to edit the RP (see also CRIS delegate admin)
3. Researcher Profile isn’t related with an EPerson
4. the current user hasn’t a Researcher Profile
We introduced a new configuration feature within cris.cfg to declare the name of the group containing users allowed to perform directly the claim (e.g. rp.claim.group.name = self-claim-rp). Therefore, if the current user is part of "self-claim-rp" group, after clicking on the “claim” button the system will claim the Researcher Page, otherwise the Researcher Page is not claimed and the system performs actions, according to user's authorizations.
1) logged users:
if the logged user is not a member of the “self-claim-rp” the system will show a button to send an email to the administrator if there isn’t email and orcid available on the Researcher Profile or only orcid is missing. If the email and orcid are in place, the system will show a popup with the following suggestions:
- login via ORCID
send a feedback message to the administrator
2) anonymous users:
the system will show a button to send an email to the administrator if there isn’t email and orcid on the Researcher Profile otherwise the system will show a popup with the follow suggestions:
- email discover , the system will show a popup with the first and the last two characters of the RP email and will ask you to complete the email address
- login via ORCID ( (if ORCID id is available on the RP profile))
- send a feedback message to the administrator
