There is no "Actions" Tab when I am logged in as administrator!

The steps I am performing are the following:

1)Logging in as administrator
2)Manage records
3)Select one (View) that has been deposited by a normal user
4)Then I get only "Edit" and "Destroy" as tabs and below are the
options "Details" and "Export"

On the other hand when logged in as the user that has deposited the
eprint when I try "View" I get the following 4 tabs : "Preview",
"Details", "Actions", "History".  But these are NOT visible as the
Administrator!


Ah, I'm afraid "Manage records" is a confusion for admins, especially
when looking at eprint records.

Find the item via a normal route (summary page -> View item) or Admin
item search.

"Manage records" is a generic swiss-army knife, that won't show you any
special actions. The two views on records (/items) will eventually
merge, as the eprints internals get sorted out.

Thanks a million Tim!

I didn't know that and I couldn't imagine it! Now everything looks fine!

Cheers,
