DSpace Embargo

Embargoes defines a new Resource Access Policy for an item or bitstreams. In other words it defines the access rights of an item or a bitstream. The sole power for editing the resource policy lies on the administrator.

How to set an Embargo:

1. To add an embargo, edit the appropriate policy and set a "start date". To add an full Item embargo (including metadata), edit the Item policy. To embargo individual bitstreams, edit the appropriate Bitstream policy.

2. To remove an embargo, edit the appropriate policy, and clear out the "start date".

3. To change an embargo, edit the appropriate policy, and change the "start date" to a new date. Changes to the embargo should take effect immediately. However, as Administrators have full access to embargoed items, you may need to log out first. After logging out, you will be subject to the embargo
