Eperson deletion and ask a copy

[pierre...@bibl.ulaval.ca]

Bonjour, 

As part of the GDPR alignement, DSPace 7 is now allowing to delete epersons accounts even if they've submitted content. I understand that for the GDPR use case, the deletion should come from the eperson herself. The use case I wanted to submit to you is a little bit different: 

1. The institution  only  use SSO (Shibboleth) to manage authentication and Eperson account creation.
2. The institution has configured the Ask a copy feature to send resquest directly to the eperson that has deposited the article.
3. One eperson has left the institution but has deposited articles that are either restricted or under embargoe.
4. The administrator decide to delete this eperson account.

What will happen with the Ask a copy feature? Will it be deactivated?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards, 

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

In the DSpace "Request a Copy" feature, if the author/submitter no longer exists in the system, then it falls back to sending the request to your configured "mail.helpdesk" or "mail.admin" email addresses. 

You can see that behavior in the RequestItemMetadataStrategy​ code, which is the default configuration for Request a Copy: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/requestitem/RequestItemMetadataStrategy.java#L64-L83
