How to avoid spam users who create wrong links in my Community Gateway?

Inform the OpenAIRE CONNECT service manager about possible spammers: the OpenAIRE team will check, remove all their links and ban the users. If you want to avoid any users to add links you can change the gateway configuration options “Who can create links for your community” and “Who can join”.

Examples:

  • “Who can create links for your community” set to “Managers only”: only managers can use the Link functionality

  • “Who can create links for your community” set to “Members only” and “Who can join” set to “By invitation”: users can become members of the gateway only if a manager invites them. Only them (and the managers) can use the Link functionality.
