Hi,

Recently installed DSpace 7.6 on Ubuntu 22.04.3. Created communities, collection and submitted items by new eperson. I have added new authorization policy for eperson with WRITE permission in Collection level.  But the added eperson is not able to edit the submitted item. Only Admin user can edit the items.  However, if I add Item level WRITE permission to eperson, then it is working. 

Is it the correct way or not possible to do in Collection level ?
Please, if anyone has advice for me, I would appreciate the help.

Regards,
sk deka,

Permissions exist at item level but are inherited when created new from the collection level. So when an item did exist before the the eperson has been added it might not have a WRITE permission.

Bulk Access Management (both at UI level and from the console) allow you to change permissons for multiple existing items if needed.
