Invenio-Config-TUW 2022.2.3

Invenio module containing some customizations and configuration for TU Wien.

Invenio module for tweaking InvenioRDM to the needs of TU Wien.

We use this module to customize the following:

• Permission policies

• OIDC authentication handling

• E-Mail notification on errors

• Configuration values

Details

Permission policies

Currently, we are still operating on a friendly-user basis. That is, while we cannot lose any data that has been uploaded by our users, we do not allow every registered user to create record drafts, upload data, or publish records from the get-go. Instead, we require users to have the trusted-user role in order to be able to create record drafts and upload data. Similarly, we have the trusted-publisher role as a requirement for publishing records. Generally, these roles have to be assigned to users manually by an administrator.

On the test system, we give out these permissions automatically if we detect that a newly registered user is an employee of TU Wien.

OIDC authentication handling

Because we have some special requirements regarding the authentication and signup process, we have customized some of the handler functions for the OAuth client that’s integrated in InvenioRDM. These customizations are contained in the files in auth/.

E-Mail notification on errors

This module defines a custom log handler for error-level logs which sends out notifications as e-mail to a set of configured recipient addresses.

Configuration values

Last but not least, we also set some default configuration values for deployments of InvenioRDM at TU Wien. The relevant files here are config.py and ext.py.
