Limit Visibility To Own

Description

Plugin for Omeka Classic. Once installed and activated, allows to limit, while in Admin mode, the visibility of Items and/or Collections to just the ones the user have contributed. Visibility rights are allocated by user role.

Please note: this plugin does not restrict access to Items or Collections, so anybody using a direct URL or a specific plugin (like Collection Tree plugin, for instance) will still be able to display the targeted Item or Collection.

Installation

Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "LimitVisibilityToOwn".

Then install it like any other Omeka plugin.

Warning

Use it at your own risk.

It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.

Troubleshooting

See online issues on the plugin issues page on GitHub.
