AccessStatusService (DSpace Kernel :: API and Implementation 7.6.1 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AccessStatusServiceImpl
```
public interface AccessStatusService
```
Public interface to the access status subsystem.
Configuration properties: (with examples) # values for the forever embargo date threshold # This threshold date is used in the default access status helper to dermine if an item is # restricted or embargoed based on the start date of the primary (or first) file policies. # In this case, if the policy start date is inferior to the threshold date, the status will # be embargo, else it will be restricted. # You might want to change this threshold based on your needs. For example: some databases # doesn't accept a date superior to 31 december 9999. access.status.embargo.forever.year = 10000 access.status.embargo.forever.month = 1 access.status.embargo.forever.day = 1 # implementation of access status helper plugin - replace with local implementation if applicable # This default access status helper provides an item status based on the policies of the primary # bitstream (or first bitstream in the original bundles if no primary file is specified). plugin.single.org.dspace.access.status.AccessStatusHelper = org.dspace.access.status.DefaultAccessStatusHelper
