Hi,
I want to know what is anonymous group is every eperson is set to anonymous group. When a normal user login they have  read permission so is that user from anonymous group?.
I have created an default group called user and i have add a new eperson to that group now i want to give read permission to this group only for single community. when anonymous it will read all community but when i login through the user group member i want to read only a specific community is that possible?

Everyone who accesses the DSpace site is automatically assigned to the Anonymous group while they’re there. So if a community/item has permissions of Anonymous READ, then anyone visiting the site can access it, whether they’re logged in or not.

 

What you’re describing isn’t possible because DSpace doesn’t have any way to create a rule to remove permissions, only rules to add permissions. (I’m also not sure whether it’d be useful even if you could: the people in that group could still access the other communities simply by logging out.)

 

An example of something you can do is:

  • create User Group A and User Group B
  • add read permission for the single community to User Group A, and add read permission for all communities to User Group B
  • remove all Anonymous read permissions

In that case User Group B could access everything; User Group A would only be able to access the single community; and people who haven’t logged in wouldn’t be able to access anything.
