[Dspace-tech] REST API: collection administrators and submitters

[Elias Tzoc]

Hi all,

We’re testing a basic REST API script for creating collections for new users, and it’s partially working. We can create collections but we’re not sure how to add (new) e-persons to recently created collections, the e-person should be an administrator and submitter for his/her collection.

We’ve checked these pages, but we cannot seem to find an example for adding administrators or submitters
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/REST+API <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/REST+API>
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master/dspace-rest <https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master/dspace-rest>

Does anyone have some (curl) example requests for this?

Thanks in advance!


Elias

I haven't tried to do that, but I can say that an EPerson is not added
to a Collection but to one of several EPersonGroups associated with
the collection. I think that's not supported yet.

I have a script that creates a collection templating the new collection after another collection
I do this in jruby. If you are interested have a look at https://github.com/akinom/dscriptor
See the way I use it at https://github.com/akinom/dscriptor/blob/master/utils/pulibs.rb
The stuff is not very well documented - but if you are interested just ask away
