Feature Request/Idea: Select more default roles for dataset creators in the UI than Contributor and Curator #10005
Labels
Component: JSF
Involves modifying JSF (Jakarta Server Faces) code, which is being replaced with React.
Feature: Permissions
Type: Suggestion
an idea
User Role: Superuser
Has access to the superuser dashboard and cares about how the system is configured
UX & UI: New React UI
Needs enough design work that it should probably go in the new React UI, not JSF
Overview of the Feature Request
Currently only Contributor and Curator roles may be selected as default roles from the UI. It can be done via API (https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/api/native-api.html#assign-default-role-to-user-creating-a-dataset-in-a-dataverse-collection) but even in this case any modification via the UI makes the API set role impossible to be set via UI again.
In order not to clogg the selection and provide too many choices that may confuse users, it might be best to make the list of possible default roles configurable rather than having all roles always usable as default.
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)
Dataverse collection Admins setting up roles for Depositors
What inspired the request?
What existing behavior do you want changed?
Expand the choices in the Permissions menu to be able to use other roles than Contributor and Curator
Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?.
Maybe this should be done only in the new UI as even if not convenient, the desired result can be achieved via API
Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?
