[ckan-dev] Authorisation - making datasets public

[Aaron McGlinchy]

Hi,
    Documentation for CKAN 2.2. http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.2/user-guide.html#users-organizations-and-authorization

States "In the default setup, this dataset is initially private, and visible only to other users in the same organization. When it is ready for publication, it can be published at the press of a button. This may require a higher authorization level within the organization."

Suggesting there may be some differentiation in what roles can make a dataset public.

This documentation (for CKAN 2.3?) is more explicit http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/authorization.html

"An organization admin can:
...
- Make datasets public or private.
..."

And this is the only role with that ability listed.

In our install of CKAN 2.2 a user with role editor is able to create a dataset and make it public or private, they can also switch datasets that another user uploaded from private to public.  Is there a setting that can limit the ability to make datasets public to only admin users? And/or is this something that is coming in 2.3?

Thanks
Aaron
