Hello,

I  have signed up as a new user (with ID NewUser). But I do not see any Dataverse. I just see this following message:

"Not Authorized - You are not authorized to view this page. If you believe this is an error, please contact Dataverse on K8S for assistance"

Then, I logged off and logged in as admin and added NewUser as a "File Downloader" role. Later I logged in as Newuser but got the same message.

Could you please suggest how to fix this problem?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Sharif

Have you published the root dataverse?

I think I've encountered a similar problem at some point. I had to include the "ViewUnpublishedDataset" and "ViewUnpublishedDataverse" roles for that user group, otherwise they would never be able to see it unless it is published.

Interesting. Can you please open an issue about this at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-kubernetes/issues ?

Sorry for the late reply, I'm still trying to figure out all the features (intentional as well as unintentional ones) of Dataverse, so I am not yet very active here.

I think that this is actually the desired behavior for the "file downloader" role: "A person who can download a published file."
It doesn't work for giving access to unpublished datasets or dataverses (there, the "Member" role should be used). That does make me wonder what this role should be used for at all? Anyone can download published files.

You are right that if you leave all the defaults in place and click "publish" that files can be publicly downloaded. However, if you "restrict" a file before you publish, that file can only be downloaded by people who have access. Please see http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.18.1/user/dataset-management.html#edit-file-metadata

so once you grant access to restricted files to someone, this person will automatically be assigned the "file downloader" role? makes sense.

That's right. You can also preemptively assign the file downloader role to individuals or groups so they don't have to go through the "request access" process. For licensed data in Harvard Dataverse, we allow access to anyone who can log in with HarvardKey (Harvard's Shibboleth). That way, we don't have to constantly check if this or that person has a Harvard affiliation or not. We blogged about this at https://dataverse.org/blog/harvard%E2%80%99s-subscription-data-dataverse

Thanks, Phil, for sharing this. I wasn't aware of Harvard's Subscription Data Dataverse. We have similar resources at our library that we need to manage more properly, and I think we definitely should test this out in Dataverse.

Best, Philipp

Hi Philipp, 

UVa is also experimenting with adding Library “licensed” datasets to our Dataverse which can only be downloaded by UVa faculty, staff and students. 

I have this written up (and in a google group discussion) and will check on it when I am back in the office on Monday.
