Re: [GeoNetwork-devel] Harvesting and guest view [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Andrea C. <aca...@cr...>]

Hi Michael,

harvested records reflect remote privileges. If you harvest using an account
you are willing to get confidential data so a metadata visible only to that account
is not visible to a guest user. 

If a remote metadata is made public, when harvested it remains public and so it
is visible to a guest user.

Maybe someone has a better idea on how to keep privileges on confidential 
metadata during harvesting.

The group assigned to a guest account is 'All' (that is, the internet one).

Cheers,
Andrea
