Who is owner of harvested records? #1792

Closed pvgenuchten closed 7 years ago

pvgenuchten commented 7 years ago

As I understand it, the user that created a harvester is set as the owner of metadata, currently there is no mechanism to re-assign ownership of a harvester to another user. It means that if a user creates a harvester any record that is harvested via that harvester will be displayed when the user selects "my metadata" on the editor dashboard.

This leads to following questions:

All, Why not add a specific contact adress which will be marked as the owner of the files beeing harvested. For example, at the dutch RIVM we push records from our LAN to the external metadata catalog. there we create a contact as owner (e.g. RIVM) of the datasets. the harvesting mechanism looks if there is such a contact and while harvesting them to the ducht register Nationaal Georegister it alters the owner into the contact given in the source catalog.

good idea?? Cor Melse

This leads to following questions:

  • do people find the current situation fine (no change required?)
  • does harvested metadata need to have an owner, maybe it can have owner null
  • should we add functionality to change ownership of a harvester, if the ownership is changed, should we update all privileges of harvested records? (mind that you can already assign a harvester to a group)

Hi Cor, thanks for your comment, your proposal would align with my option 3, to assign ownership of harvested records as a setting on the configuration of a harvester. More opinions?

with metadata owner null, the harvested metadata will not show up with "my metadata" filter if in settings "allow modification on harvested metadata" is activated, an owner is handy to management of edit privileges
