Managing Datasets and Dataverses

Dataverses

Move a Dataverse

Moves a dataverse whose id is passed to a new dataverse whose id is passed. The dataverse alias also may be used instead of the id. If the moved dataverse has a guestbook, template, metadata block, link, or featured dataverse that is not compatible with the destination dataverse, you will be informed and given the option to force the move and remove the association. Only accessible to superusers.

curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: $API_TOKEN" -X POST http://$SERVER/api/dataverses/$id/move/$destination-id

Add Dataverse RoleAssignments to Child Dataverses

Recursively assigns the users and groups having a role(s),that are in the set configured to be inheritable via the :InheritParentRoleAssignments setting, on a specified dataverse to have the same role assignments on all of the dataverses that have been created within it. The response indicates success or failure and lists the individuals/groups and dataverses involved in the update. Only accessible to superusers.

curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: $API_TOKEN" http://$SERVER/api/admin/dataverse/$dataverse-alias//addRoleAssignmentsToChildren

Datasets

Move a Dataset

Moves a dataset whose id is passed to a dataverse whose alias is passed. If the moved dataset has a guestbook or a dataverse link that is not compatible with the destination dataverse, you will be informed and given the option to force the move and remove the guestbook or link. Only accessible to users with permission to publish the dataset in the original and destination dataverse.

curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: $API_TOKEN" -X POST http://$SERVER/api/datasets/$id/move/$alias

Mint new PID for a Dataset

Mints a new identifier for a dataset previously registered with a handle. Only accessible to superusers.

curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: $API_TOKEN" -X POST http://$SERVER/api/admin/$dataset-id/reregisterHDLToPID

Send Dataset metadata to PID provider

Forces update to metadata provided to the PID provider of a published dataset. Only accessible to superusers.

curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: $API_TOKEN" -X POST http://$SERVER/api/datasets/$dataset-id/modifyRegistrationMetadata

Make Metadata Updates Without Changing Dataset Version

As a superuser, click “Update Current Version” when publishing. (This option is only available when a ‘Minor’ update would be allowed.)
