The Content Access feature in Inspera Originality permits all institutions using the solution to engage in cross-institutional repository sharing. Granting access to an institution enables them to check incoming submissions against submissions in your internal repository. This applies vice versa when your institution is granted access to their internal repository.
The configuration of Content Access requires selecting the institutions you want to share your internal repository of archived submissions with and defining the level of access to grant. Inspera Originality provides three levels of Content Access (open, closed, restricted), each defining a specific scope of permissions for shared content.
Closed - Access to the internal repository of archived submissions is prohibited.
Restricted - Access to the internal repository of archived submissions is allowed. If a match is found, the document from your institution will appear as a matching source in the Originality Report of a document in the institution that has access. To access the document they must make a request that must be approved by your institution's administrator for access to be granted.
Open - Access to the internal repository of archived submissions is allowed. If a match is found, the document from your institution will appear as a matching source in the Originality Report of a document in the institution that has access. Access to the document is immediate.
Please note that repository access sharing does not require reciprocity. You may receive access to other institutions’ internal repositories without granting access to your own.
Content Access Configuration
To set the content access level for all institutions using Inspera Originality at once, administrators can select the checkbox in the header row of the table. This action selects all institutions listed and applies the chosen content access level to each one.
To set the content access level for one or more specific institutions using Inspera Originality, administrators can select the checkboxes in the corresponding institution rows. This action applies the chosen content access level to the selected institutions.
Institutions that are part of a larger educational framework are grouped in an expandable list. Administrators can set content access levels either collectively for all institutions in the group or individually for each institution. Configuring content access in this regard follows the same process.
