[ckan-dev] CKAN 2.1 and private datasets

Wed Sep 4 21:29:17 UTC 2013

Hi Adrià and Stefan,

Thank you both for your replies.

@Stefan, on 2.0.1 resouces from private datasets could be previewed and
accessed through the datastore. Afaik if the datastore is enabled and the
file for the resource is stored in the datastore, then the datastore rather
than the dataproxy will be used to generate the preview. As you said, it
seems that on CKAN 2.1 to prevent that resources from private datasets are
accessed through the datastore and previewed is the expected behaviour, as
they are "private".

@Adrià, thank you, I will be keeping an eye on that issue :-)

Regards!
