Hi Tim and Hannu,
Would it be useful to register this setting for the data
provider to the GBRDS - so that the NODE can set a "default"
permission that will allow the data provider to install an
independent IPT instance to publish from if they wish to. So
that the data hosting center can host datasets from distributed
data providers that themselves may want to "upgrade" to have
their own IPT later on. The NODE admin could thus get an
overview of resources endorsed by the NODE from the GBRDS...?
Cheers
Dag

Subject: [IPT] Functionality request: ADMIN checking data
before GBIF registration
Hi all,
Hannu has raised a request for the following to be satisfied by
the IPT:
"- Publishing a resource must be accepted by the owner of the
provider. It has happened that a test user publishes something
odd
which goes all the way to the data portal without nobody
controlling
it."
This is a contradiction to the requests of others, and
specifically
those wishing to promote basic "data hosting centers", who
request
that a data MANAGER should be able to work autonomously.
After discussion with the developers the proposal is to
implement the
following, which we hope satisfies both requirements:
In the Administration section, an ADMIN can choose to enable or
disable the ability for MANAGERS to register resources with
GBIF. By
default MANAGERS can register a resource, but an ADMIN can
disable
this through this check box.
If anyone has any concerns or comments on this approach, please
can
you raise them on this list?
Many thanks,
Tim
