For example, it is not unusual for content destined for DSpace to come with permanent restrictions on use or access based on license-driven or other IP-based requirements that limit access to institutionally affiliated users. Restrictions such as these are imposed and managed using standard administrative tools in DSpace, typically by attaching specific policies to Items or , Collections, Bitstreams, etc. The embargo functionally introduced in Embargo functionality was originally introduced as part of DSpace 1.6, however, includes tools to automate the imposition and removal of restrictions in managed timeframesenabling embargo's on the level of items that applied to all bitstreams included in the item.
