<br>
The request a copy function in your version will send out a temporary access token to the requester, who can use this to bypass login on the repository for a short period of time. If the requester downloads the document, then it will be counted. However, the act of clicking on 'request a copy' does not get tracked by IRStats. Also, no distinction is made by IRStats of downloads of restricted items by people who have logged in and people with access tokens.<br>
<br>
Does this answer your question? I'm still not 100% sure I've understood it.<br>
