What I guess

It works fine for a open deposition. Well, not for a closed one. So, I guess, the authorization was not set correctly in pystow.

Hi @longavailable, maybe I'm misunderstanding - are you saying that Zenodo has the possibility to have records that require authorization? I've never come across something like this before

[longavailable]

Hi @cthoyt

Yes. As it is, , four types of access are supported. They are open, embargoed, restricted and closed. It also can be found in the Access and Reuse | General Policies.

For a new update/deposit, the access type should be chosed in the [license] part.

The latter three types may require authorization.

Thanks for the information. I’m not so interested to spend my free time supporting non-open science, so if this is a feature you absolutely need then I would be open to discussing a consulting agreement.
