View unpublished data through search API

[tainguyenbui]

Given that I am searching for information in Dataverse
When I perform a search through the Search native API
Then I would like to have the ability to see Published, Unpublished or both information

What is currently happening:
I am only able to search for published information

What we would love to have
A more flexible approach for search that allows us to search for any kind of data, having only published by default and then having a potential flag that can be set on the request

Thanks a lot! 🚀

Thanks @tainguyenbui! I think you mean through the search API based on the nature of your integration. Feel free to edit the issue if appropriate. I'll let someone more technical get into the details about how we could approach this. Note that in the UI at least, we have some facets available for different publication statuses.

@djbrooke thanks! yes you are right, through the API, I just updated the issue

• A dev setting exists now that could be used here (nonPublicSearchAllowed), but we'd need to bring it up to a production level, this would be the main part of this work
• See

  dataverse/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/Search.java

  Line 225 in e093c0f

  if (nonPublicSearchAllowed()) {

  for context of how this is currently structured
• This exists in the front end now (you can see your own content, or all content if you have superuser access)

I just made pull request #6333.

The "AccessIT" test failure at https://jenkins.dataverse.org/job/IQSS-Dataverse-Develop-PR/view/change-requests/job/PR-6333/1/ is pre-existing in the "develop" branch and being tracked at #6322.

@tainguyenbui the optional "flag" to pass in will be your API token. 😄 You are very welcome to review the doc change (and the code change, if you feel like it). Thanks for reporting this issue! I've wanted to get this improvement in for years. 😄
