Editing Repository configuration (section)

===User Privs===
The user permission configuration allows you to set what types of user can and can't do. The user home page will only show a user options which they can do.

New types of user, and which data about themselves they can edit is set in metadata-fields.xml.

Permissions are set by "type" of user. By default there are 3 kinds of user: "user", "editor" and "admin".

Admin can, by default, do everything.

; subscription (since EPrints v2.1) : If included then this kind of user can create subscriptions.
; set-password : Reset their password via the web registration system.
; deposit : Submit items into the archive.
; view-status : View the archive status page.
; editor : User can edit then approve submitted items into the main archive, or delete them, or return them to sender. Also can remove items from the archive back into the edit buffer for corrections, and move records into the deleted table (delete them).
; staff-view : User can perform a "staff search" of user or eprint records and view ALL the metadata.
; edit-subject : User can edit the subject tree via the online interface.
; edit-user : User can edit other users records.
; change-email : User can change their email address via the web interface. This is safer than allowing them to edit it directly as it ensures they cannot set it to an address which they recieve (it mails them a confirmation pin number)
; change-user : This allows the sinister feature which lets you log in as someone else. It still requires a password. This is useful if you want to perform admin tasks as a super user, then log-in as a normal user to deposit items.
; no_edit_own_record (since v2.2) : This supresses the "edit my user record" option. This may be useful if you disable web-registration and import the user records from some other database.
