Unauthenticated Access Via OAI-PMH
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
Media publication via OAI-PMH allows unauthenticated public access to all media and metadata by default. OAI-PMH is part of the default workflow and is activated by default, requiring active user intervention of users to protect media. This leads to users unknowingly handing out public access to events without their knowledge.
