User request for FAIR data auto access request
Request is to provide an automation mechanism in Metalnx such that when a search request provides a link to an object the user does not have access to a permissions request is automatically generated to the owner of the data (user or group) to let that owner grant access if appropriate.
Initial work in progress is being done in the NIEHS fork, we can merge this as part of the 2.1.0? Added to that milestone so we can look at that....
example asof version 2.0.1....here a screen shows access to a file that the user does not have permission to see...shows basic data and avu metadata...
results now in email...very basic....

metalnx.properties value access.proxy must be = true to get this page, otherwise it's a not found page...
mail.enabled must be true to get the 'request access' button, otherwise it's not shown.
So this whole system can be turned off in metalnx.properties if FAIR access is not required.
mail template and mail from address configured separately?
Yes. Right now it can have a mail.from and a mail.to, if the to is not specified it uses the (new) admin email id. All that is in the /etc/irods-ext/metalnx.properties and shown in the example template.

I see.
A template for the email body?
Plaintext? HTML? Just asking - I have no agenda.
html would be nice and is generally contemplated, right now we're in expediency mode
