Once the metadata form has been completed and saved a new metadata record and a default unique identifier will be generated automatically for this record. Clicking on Privileges button at the top or bottom of the metadata form, the corresponding page will be opened. You can define what functions are accessible to the different user groups. You can for instance define if the information is vissible to All (Internet), or to limit the visibility and related services to internal users only (Intranet). Privileges are assigned on a per group basis. Depending on the User profile (Guest, Registered user, Editor, Admin etc..) the access to these funtions may differ on a per user basis.
The available funtions are:
Visible - to allow metadata visualization with web links eventually included
Download - to allow the user to get the data any other document made available as on-line resource
Interactive Map - to visualize the data interactively as internet map service. (The interactive services has to be created separately using a Web Map Server and this is not part of the GeoNetwork opensource application)
Featured - to allow, when selected, the record will be part of the featured set of metadata. Featured metadata will be displayed randomly on the home page of the web site.
Editing - to allow the editing and deleting of the metadata record
Notify - a notification email will be send to the Group email address on every download of a (locally stored) file.
Admin - to allow to set the privileges. Members of the group, with an editor profile or higher, can access this function.


You are now ready to set the privileges for the metadata just created and for the on-line resources that have been uploaded.
