Good afternoon,

Thank you for letting me into the group. I have a question about users and roles and if it is possible to set edit rights for specific concepts in a graph.
We have a list of concepts: https://vocabs.cbs.nl/begrippen/en/, and are looking at using VocBench to manage them. Previously this was done by a single person, but since they retired it is no longer being maintained. We would now like to put the responsibility for 'their own' concepts and definitions with the domain experts.
To simplify the process for the statisticians I am trying to figure out if it is possible to set user rights to only be able to see and/or edit specific subparts of the graph of a certain domain/top level concept. Is this possible or am I attempting to do something that cannot be done?

Kind regards,
Karen

Dear Karen,

 

this is not possible at the level of single concepts but it is possible with concept schemes and user groups.

 

See:

 

https://vocbench.uniroma2.it/doc/user/groups_adm.jsf (and following linked pages)

 

Before this, it might be worth giving a reading to this one:

Kind Regards,

 

Armando

Dear  Armando,

it is a nice feature, but unfortunately I discovered a bug when I tried it out. After I assigned concept schemes to a group, I noticed that the schemes disappeared again and did not get saved as they should. Here are the steps to replicate the problem.

·        Log in as admin
·        Open a SKOS project
·        From the user menu, select “Administration” 
·        Go to tab “Groups” and create  couple of groups, e. g. one group for each concept scheme
·        Go to tab “Projects” and select your project.
·        In the panel on the right, select “Project-Groups Management” 
·        Select one of the groups. 
·        In the panel on the right, go to “ConceptScheme authorizations” and click on the “+”-button. 
·        Select a concept scheme to assign it to that group. 
·        Select the next group and assign a different concept scheme 

When you click on the first group you will notice that the concept  scheme you assigned has disappeared. Apparently it has not been stored as it should.

Kind regards
Roland

Dear Armando,

Thank you for the reply. This approach seems to do what I want to achieve I can just make concept schemes for each domain in that case. I do however have the same bug as described below by Roland Wingerter. For now I can just hide the scheme tab for the users so they cannot switch, as it does seem to select the correct one.

Thanks again,
Karen
