[EP-tech] Re: Details and Preview tab in custom status

[Alan.Stiles]

Thanks again for the pointer Tim.

For the list, and in case anyone else has the issue, I managed to reinstate the Details and Preview tabs for basic users looking at items in my new status 'my_status' by adding the following privileges (initially directly to the user profile, but eventually will be via a specific role).

+eprint/my_status/details      (for the details tab)
+eprint/my_status/summary      (for the preview tab)

These don't appear to grant the right to edit anything on the items in this status, which is what I was after.

Alan.

Hi,

The eprint/view privilege will be expanded out to eprint/[status]/view.
That can further be refined to eprint/[status]/view:editor, if you are an editor user.

So perhaps you need to grant the eprint/my_review/view permission to basic users?

I think Details are bound up with the rights to edit an EPrint? I haven't tried giving a user just that tab without them also having the edit privilege.
