Entitlement

Hi Toni,

Unfortunately I can’t provide an estimated date. As I mentioned above it’s an incredibly complicated feature and we want to ensure we get it right.

About that, good news here today :

Enterprise apps that drive results: What’s coming next with DPS | Adobe Digital Publishing Solution

...and other very cool features!

can't wait to see that... the demo video is great!

Hi Neil,

just that I can at least continue to plan the development of the direct entitlement:

API V2 will still be the way to go?

Regards,

Toni

Direct entitlement is already supported, and yes, uses the v2 API.

Neil

Another question:

will it be possible to have different launch collections, depending on what you are entitled to?

Yes. The top-level collection is no different than any other collection in that regard. We’ll check to see whether the logged in reader is entitled to the collections inside the TLC, and hide them if not.

Neil

I have another question:

will it be possible to have free content that can be viewed when you are not logged in, but is hidden or replaced by other things when you are logged in?

I guess no, because you can only allow access and not refuse it by direct entitlement, right? If so, does anyone have a workaround for the scenario above?

Regards,

Toni

With the next release, we'll support "restricted collections," which are hidden from the app unless users are signed in. However, I can't think of a way to hide free content after users sign in.

Thanks Bob!

Just to explain the concept a bit further:

B2C users should work without login and should see basic marketing material.

B2B users should have a login and should see the relevant information for their business.

Just a thought:

Could the basic information in one free collection and all other entitled collections above it in sorting hierarchy? If the top-most collection builds the starting browse page (as seen here) only not logged in users would see the free content on the browse page. Logged in users would see it as the last item of the flyout menu though. But with the right name, that could be ok as it is not secret material but just not important for them.

Did I understand it right? Do you think that could work?

Thanks,

Toni

That sounds like it could work, but I don't have a clear picture of what you're trying to do. It will be easy enough to test after this Friday's release. Let's pick up this discussion after the release, when it'll be easy to create a test app with restricted ("hidden until signed in") collections.
