Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance or documentation on how to restrict access to DSpace documents. Specifically, I need to:

  • Make bitstream files accessible only via IP-based authentication (so only users from certain IPs can access them).
  • For non-IP users, restrict access and provide a "Request a Copy" option.

If anyone has experience setting this up or any documentation on how to do it, please share. Would really appreciate any help!

Regards

do you already _have_ the items in a collection ?
This makes it more complicated.

Else you can set the default for every new item in that collection which
will inherit the rights.
Changing the rights of the collection does not impact already deposited
items.
