Selective de-indexing of digital objects #27

Open radancy opened 4 years ago

radancy commented 4 years ago

Support ability to remove indexing from selected digital objects for privacy reasons.

Use case: individual requests removal of name from public document (e.g. Convocation Book). Record would remain available in AtoM, but individual's name would not be picked up in searches.

I'm guessing this would require setting a database flag on the objects that's editable from the interface and gets ignored by all the indexing calls -- should be very doable within the existing codebase with a small-to-medium amount of effort.

Would be easier if we don't need to worry about pre-setting this permission, as then we would only have to worry about handling it on objects that already exist in AtoM, rather than on ingest or communication from Archivematica.

Currently have a work-around for the use-case, good enough for what is right now a rare situation.
