[IPT] Functionality request: ADMIN checking data before GBIF registration

[Dag Terje Filip Endresen]

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
