Setting Access Restrictions

Access Restrictions can be applied to each individual file or dataset, as determined by the agreements entered into with the ADA under the License Agreement Form.

Currently, Access Restrictions will be applied to the file(s) and dataset(s) by the ADA Staff as part of their curation activities prior to publishing your Dataverse. The ADA Staff conduct this activity as they need to manually save the dataset contents as a Submission Information Pack (SIP) and archive these files on the National Computer Infrastructure (NCI) before conducting their Quality Assurance checks and uploading the final dataset material to the Dataverse PRODUCE site. Thus any Access Restrictions that you apply at this stage will need to be re-entered by ADA Staff onto the Dataverse TEST and PRODUCE environments.

Future Activity

The ADA intend to introduce a means of automating some of their processing activity and it is expected that this will include the automatic copying of the dataset contents from the DEPOSIT Dataverse Site to the TEST and PRODUCE environments ahead of the final publishing of the dataset. At this point in time, this section may warrant review.

Data Owners should now proceed to complete the License Document Suite.
