Re: [EP-tech] Limit user create new item

Hi Agung,

You should just be able to change the "if" line from:

if ( $user->get_value( 'usertype' ) eq "user" && $user->owned_eprints_list->count >= 2 )

To:

if ( $user->has_role( "staff-view" ) && $user->owned_eprints_list->count >= 2 )

You may need to change the role to the appropriate role (currently staff-view) for your requirements.  The following page lists the default roles and privileges and how they are assigned to different user types:

Hi David,

Thank you very much for your help. 
But I want to ask a little more. Is it possible to apply it specifically to certain user roles?

Thank you.

Hi Agung,

I think you can implement a "soft" restriction, which just removes the "New Item" button on the "Manage Deposits" page.  However, this would still allow new items to be created from Import or by using the "New Version" button under an item they has already created.  So you may want to use a similar approach to as below disable those buttons.

Create a file in your local archive called cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/LocalNewEPrint.pm with the following code:

package EPrints::Plugin::Screen::LocalNewEPrint;

use EPrints::Plugin::Screen::NewEPrint;

our @ISA = qw/ EPrints::Plugin::Screen::NewEPrint /;

sub allow_create
{
    my ( $self ) = @_;

    my $user = $self->{session}->current_user;

    if ( $user->get_value( 'usertype' ) eq "user" && $user->owned_eprints_list->count >= 2 )
    {
        return 0;
    }

    return $self->allow( "create_eprint" );
}

1;

The you need to either edit your archive's cfg/cfg.d/plugins.pl or create a new config file under your archive (e.g. cfg/cfg.d/z_restrict_new_items.pl) and add the following two lines:

$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::NewEPrint"} = "Screen::LocalNewEPrint";
$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::LocalNewEPrint"} = undef;

Run "epadmin test" and then reload you web server and this should prevent users of regular user type from seeing the "New Item" button on their "Manage Deposits" page if they already have two or more items.  If you want to restrict other types of user as well you will need to modify LocalNewEPrint.pm appropriately.

Hi,

Is it possible to limit creating new items per user to only 2 times. If there is, please tell me how to do it.

Thank you.
