[ckan-dev] Moderation

Fri Aug 2 09:15:48 UTC 2013

Hi Aaron,

The moderated configuration option is deprecated and should be removed
from the docs (there is an issue regarding this that should obviously
be prioritized [1])
I suggest you remove this option from your configuration file as it
causes problems with datasets not being updated.

Starting with CKAN 2.0, the dataset moderation is done only via the
Public/Private field, which you are already using. Users with admin
permissions over the dataset should be able to make it public /
private. This will most likely work as expected if you remove the
moderated setting from the ini file.

Hope this helps,

Adrià
