[Archivesspace_Users_Group] A user who is set as manager of a collection can not create containers...

[Payten Giles]

Hi there Eric,

Access to the “Create” for containers is provided by
the update_container_record role.  It looks like this isn’t granted to
managers (repository-managers) by default.  This has a bug vibe and I’ll
ensure a JIRA issue is recorded.

In the meantime, you can expand the roles available to your repository
managers by following these steps:

1. Login as an administrator
2. Ensure the repository you’d like to update is selected
3. Under the ‘cog’ icon next to the repository name, select "Manage Groups”
4. Select ‘Edit’ next to the repository-managers group
5. Under “Members can”, ensure the checkbox for "create/update top
container records” is selected
6. Save Group

Hopefully the “Create” action will now be available!

Thanks,
Payten

I posted this to the list earlier but the list seems more active this week
so I thought I’d try again. One of ouse users is manger of a collection but
can’t create containers in it here is what they report:

“While attempting to create top containers for instances, I only had access
to “browse” but not create. I had management level access at the time. I
had to be given admin level access to be able to gain the create button for
top containers. The create option disappeared when placed on just admin
level access. I had to be placed in both levels of access to be able to
create top containers.”

Our server has only been in production for a few weeks and is set-up per
the http://www.archivesspace.org recommendations. Our server does
authenticate via LDAP (Active Directory) but our users experience is the
same using an AD or ArchivesSpace local users. Do you know how we might
resolve this or what might be the next steps in troubleshooting? Thanks!
