ckanext-generalpublic

General Public is a plugin for CKAN. This plugin aims to restrict what none logged in user can view. This is done using the granular visibility framework plugin. Datasets which have a public visibility can be seen, downloaded and viewed by any user. Whereas protected datasets allow none logged in users to see it datasets metadata but not view the data contained.

This plugin is not plug and play and there is not intention of making it so. It has hard coded items for its current use case. To make it work for your CKAN you will have to edit code.
