Permissions for users to access only specific Item Parts

[kabikaj]

Hi, It would be highly useful to be able to assign access rights for Item Parts (images+annotations+transcriptions) to users. In this way, an annotator could upload images from a fragments that other annotators are not allowed to see. Cheers, Alicia

This is an interesting suggestion and not something we've come across as a need. Can you give some use-cases, please? In what situation would you not want other annotators to see a fragment?

[kabikaj]

It might be that a researchers have the images of some manuscript fragment from an institution but they don't have the permissions to share it with others. In this case, if they want to work on it in Archetype, they need to be sure that other annotators cannot access those images

I see the point of this. The assumption in Archetype's design is that each project has its own instance, and so all those with editing rights have access to all material. I can see exceptions but this would require a more complex rights-management system I think, which would be useful but is for another stage.
