13:52 poikilotherm Hi :-)
13:53 jonas63 just a quick one: i would like to keep visibility and access to some dataverses restricted to users from the local network. do you know of any way to achieve this in the current state?
13:53 poikilotherm I remember some options to create groups from IP ranges
13:54 poikilotherm http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/ip-groups.html
13:54 poikilotherm Maybe this can help you?
13:55 jonas63 that sounds perfect! in a second step, that IP Group would need the right "see dataverse" which currently does not exist, or does it?
13:56 poikilotherm You will need to go to the dataverse you want to have restrictions on it and edit permissions. Then you should be able to choose a group and the ip group should show up in that list.
13:57 poikilotherm You can assign different rights to that group, e.g. "see" as you asked above
13:59 jonas63 thank you, you are very helpful! i have never heard of (or seen) a "ViewPublishedDataset/verse" permission though....
14:00 jonas63 and allowing the IP Group to ViewUnpublishedDataset/verse would go too far
14:02 jonas63 if you don't have an idea, never mind, Oli!
14:03 jonas63 you have been very helpful already :D
14:03 poikilotherm Could you maybe elaborate a bit more on your idea? I am not sure what you are trying to achieve...
14:04 poikilotherm Or maybe raise an issue if you think sth. is missing from the permission system. pdurbin is not around, but I am sure someone else will pick up and respond on Github
14:05 jonas63 three levels of access: a) external users: see published datasets/verses in the two public dataverses, b) internal users: see published datasets/verses in all dataverses, c) owners (can be people or units): see unpublished datasets/verses they own
14:06 jonas63 yes, i intended to open an issue, but found that it's a good idea to talk about it a bit first.....
14:07 poikilotherm I don't think this level of granularity does exist yet...
14:08 poikilotherm When you are using DOIs, this will not fit at all
14:08 poikilotherm Because the metadata is published at DataCite/EZID anyway
14:08 jonas63 well, i think the way of thinking is "public is public", which kind of makes sense, but does not facilitate internal sharing
14:08 poikilotherm So you would like to see some kind of "internally published"?
14:09 poikilotherm Maybe this is sth. solvable once DataTags are implemented?
14:09 poikilotherm That permission level definitly does not exist yet
14:09 poikilotherm Maybe you can use a workaround
14:09 poikilotherm Permissions are not inherited by design
14:10 jonas63 we are using HDL --- "real" publications happen in other repositories and we just use the DOI from there
14:10 poikilotherm You can inherit on group creation when you enable a certainly new option
14:10 poikilotherm But you could create a Dataverse which has your group added and leave things unpublished there
14:11 poikilotherm Currently, you can move Datasets via API, UI support is in the works
14:13 poikilotherm http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/dataverses-datasets.html#move-a-dataset
14:15 poikilotherm The UI support progress is tracked here https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2073
14:16 poikilotherm But as pdurbin likes to say: please open an issue if you feel like it ;-)
14:29 jonas63 thank you so much for the input! i am planning to base it all on scripts calling the API anyways...
14:30 pameyer joined #dataverse
14:30 jonas63 https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/5764
14:31 pameyer @jonas63 your levels of access sound close to some ideas that have been kicked around; but not anything that's directly supported
14:31 pameyer "internal publication" is a tricky-ish thing
14:32 jonas63 yeah, let's not call it "publication" - that's just confusing
14:33 poikilotherm Maybe call it staging :-D
14:33 poikilotherm Like in the Linux kernel ;-)
14:33 pameyer unfortunately, I don't have a better work for "change this thing that only I can see to things everybody at my institution can see"
14:34 pameyer ;)
14:34 jonas63 i used "internal sharing" in the issue
14:34 poikilotherm Well you could use a special dataverse with group permission to see unpublished
14:34 jonas63 maybe "instititutional sharing"?
14:35 poikilotherm Everything you want to share internally / institution wide could be moved over there
14:35 poikilotherm s/Everything/Every dataset/g
14:35 pameyer "sharing" seems to me to be more confusing - the "share" button in dataverse does social media rather than permissions
14:36 jonas63 right......
14:36 pameyer @poikilotherm we'd been thinking along the lines of "not-publication" as moving between private dataverse, less private dataverse, and public dataverse
14:37 pameyer I thought "publication funnel" was a cool buzzword; but I'm bad at picking buzzwords
14:37 poikilotherm It could also be an extension to "submit for review"
14:37 jonas63 the example i am thinking about:
14:37 poikilotherm Because sharing interally might be relevant for such use cases where reviews are not just done by curators/admins
14:44 jonas63 how about "InstitutionalAccess"
14:45 jonas63 or "RestrictedVisibility"
14:47 pameyer InstitutionalAccess sounds good to me (for what that's worth ;) )
14:47 pameyer @poikilotherm good idea about mixing the review process into this; I don't think that was an angle that had been considered
14:48 poikilotherm Thx pameyer :-)
14:48 poikilotherm I try to leave a comment tomorrow on the issue
14:48 poikilotherm Have to go now, pick up kiddies
14:48 poikilotherm Cu guys
14:48 jonas63 cu oli, and thank you so much!
15:07 donsizemore @jonas63 could you do this with an institutional group, say read-only or member role?
15:08 jonas63 the thing is: there is still stuff that should not be visible to anyone but the owner...
15:09 donsizemore @jonas63 i believe at present you'd need shibboleth for that. i think the piece you're missing is file restriction once you assign roles to the dataset
15:10 donsizemore @jonas63 you could probably do what you want with a combination of shib group and http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/user/dataset-management.html?highlight=roles but more robust permission sets are always a good thing
15:11 jonas63 yeah, we're not gonna have shib for the foreseeable future
15:11 jonas63 but also, i don't understand how that would help me to restrict visibility of a dataset
15:13 donsizemore "If specific files in your dataset are restricted access, then you can grant specific users or groups access to those files while still keeping them restricted to the general public. "
15:15 jonas63 yes, for files... but that doesn't apply to the dataset's metadata or (even more importantly) the places where this dataset will be listed
15:15 jonas63 right?
15:15 donsizemore correct
15:22 jonas63 don, i would love to see your input on https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/5764 if you have the time
15:24 donsizemore we've run into a similar issue with harvesting but it's our metadata librarian who didn't like DV's current behavior
15:24 donsizemore this definitely seems like something that should go into 5. about to head out for lunch here, but i'll look at it after?
15:25 jonas63 thank you!! enjoy your meal!
15:27 donsizemore hope so. today is our first above 26°
15:52 jonas63 thanks for using °C :)
