Overview of the detailed view

Depending on the system configuration, user role and rights, the detailed view of a resource contains the following content:

Information about the resource	Title and description of the resource as well as the semester, general information (such as the ID of the resource and direct links), catalogue entries, owners, metadata of the resource, access rights and additional information for owners, e.g. information on how to use the resource
Access to administrative functions	Edit, copy, export, link, change description, settings or catalogue entries, define owners and set bookmarks

The prerequisites for these functions are administrative rights for the relevant content. This means that the user is either the:

owner of the resource,
learning resource administrator from any of the institutions the owners belong to, or
another owner of the resource has allowed copying the resource using the function Change properties.
