allow temporary sharing link for ISA tree

[wittigue]

Describe the bug
Currently only for single assets the creation of a temporary sharing link is allowed.

Expected behavior
Especially for reviewers of manuscripts and their corresponding supplementary data in FAIRDOMHub a temporary sharing link for the ISA tree would be necessary without making the data already public.

[wittigue]

now again several users complain about the problem of creating lots of temporary links for reviewers to have one ISA tree as supplementary data
--> could we push it?

[OlgaKrebs]

not sure, but would snapshot solve this problem?

[wittigue]

@OlgaKrebs snapshot is only possible if all assets are public which users don't like to do during the paper reviewing process

[OlgaKrebs]

I know, but I suggest that we can may be change it (why not?) - allow snapshots for "internal use" before publishing/getting DOI. cause procedure is = 1. create snapshot 2. get DOI
I would rather go this way (temporary link for snapshot) than allow temporary link for whole ISA tree as error prawn

[floradanna]

I think the procedure currently is: 1. Make items public in SEEK, 2. Make a snapshot, 3. get DOI.

The problematic step for researchers seems to be the number 1 (making items public in seek), if I understand correctly what Ulrike is saying.

You can create a snapshot with items still private, they just won't be included in the snapshot

BTW: just checked, I can create snap shot for my Investigation containing non-public elements https://fairdomhub.org/investigations/1/ , it means I went through the whole procedure to the end .... but no new snapshot created (just 2 olds) . Bug? will check it and report extra

exactly, what I assumed. Stuart, does it mean, that creating temporary link for (certain) snap shot could work?

[floradanna]

@stuzart Yes, but if items are not included in the snapshot, they cannot be shared/made accessible to reviewers via that snapshot, correct?

Researchers are asking for a way to share an ISA-tree of private items with non-registered seek users via 1 link for the entire ISA, without having to make those items public in seek (if I understand correctly what Ulrike is asking).

Yes, Flora - since now it is not possible - what Ulrike is asking for- I try to suggest /discuss a possible way of implementation. One possible way I suggested ( and asked Stuart about this) is to allow making snap shot from (part of) Investigation with non-public assets and this snap shot will be not available for e.g. DOI creating. And this snapshot can be used as a target for temporary link (without having all the further assets associated to this Investigation later on be a part of the link). Of course, you are free to suggest different way of implementation. I think, we have agreed on this " temporary link is a 100% user responsibility , user/owner creates link, user/owner sends it to external people". But if link is to Investigation level, what is about other users who can upload/register/link to the same Investigation new assets - without knowing "this Investigation is available via external link to someone else....". I see this way of implementation as a dangerous one cause taking responsibility for data sharing from user to us.
