Hi there. I'm not sure if security is the right stream. So feel free to drop my topic to the right one.
I look for a possibility to hide Dataverses for specific persons / groups.
I would like to create a group A and a group B. Persons who are in group A are not allowed to see that group B has a Dataverse. Is that possible?
Yes and no. When you press "publish" on a Dataset, it is going to be visible (the metadata will be public anyway). If you're talking draft datasets, take a look at group permissions for collections.
If you're using the permalink provider, the public metadata isn't perfectly true. But the current logic in Dataverse does not apply permissions to published datasets, as this was never a real use case. It would require an extension of the code.
