[EP-tech] Re: See other users' deposits (admin) or continuing part of: Per user-group workflow and permissions

Hi George

Repository staff have access to the staff search, which allows you to locate items in the editorial buffer (or even in the work area) that are owned by a particular person.  Editors can then do whatever they like to the item.

Best Wishes

Hi all,

After having decided -along with our library staff- to assign a user as
the owner of each deposit when migrating from DSPace to EPrints based on
each publication's author, the head librarian asked me if it is possible
for a user or group (eg. admin) to be able to see other users' deposits
and probably take over the deposit procedure.

They asked me that, because they said that some Professors (and please
don't laugh) may not be able to login, watch their deposits and submit
them so that a reviewer can move with the depositing procedure
henceforth, and so it would be desirable for somebody to be able to see
and handle all deposits, even those that are still pending (eg. not in
the archive dataset).

What would be the proper procedure of doing this? After thinking a bit,
I think I'd prefer if this deposit list could be produced using already
existing code, so it could be some custom search that searches in other
datasets (eg. buffer) based on the owner field. And this search should
only be available to admin or staff. In this example, I haven't brought
up the search functionality accidentally, on the contrary it already
incorporates all the desirable functionality wrt displaying, grouping
and selecting eprints.

Of course, any other ideas (like Adam's favourite: a plugin) that would
produce the same functionality, *in an easier way*, are more than welcome!

Thanks all in advance,

George.

PS. Sorry If this behaviour is already supported by EPrints and I
haven't managed to make it work.
