[ckan4rdm] using CKAN as research data repository

Tue Feb 10 09:00:06 UTC 2015

Hi,

Has anyone tried to use CKAN in such a way, that all datasets created by 
users need to be approved by a sysadmin before becoming publicly 
visible? (so that we could e.g. prevent users from posting 
non-scientific data?) How could this be done? Is there any possibility 
of configuring CKAN to do this, or would we need to write an extension?
I would be grateful for any comments on this.
Best,
Marta
