Layer Permissions

 

There are several different types of permissions for a project's layers. The following table describe each one of these.

Layer permissions

View this layer

Allows a user to view a layer in JMap's applications. By default, the everyone user can view any new layer. To limit access to this layer, you must remove this permission from everyone and only add it to the users of your choice.

Add elements

Allows a user to add new elements on the layer and enter attribute values using the form associated with the layer. Editing must be enabled on this layer in order for this permission to be available.

Modify elements

Allows a user to modify the geometries of the elements (move add/remove nodes, etc.) found on the layer. Also allows the user to modify attribute values using the form associated with the layer. Editing must be enabled on this layer in order for this permission to be available.

Delete elements

Allows a user to delete existing elements on the layer. Editing must be enabled on this layer in order for this permission to be available.

Modify attribute values

Allows a user to open the form of a layer's element attributes and to modify their values. Editing must be enabled on this layer in order for this permission to be available.

Remote access

Allows a user to access this layer through a JMap Server to JMap Server connection. This permission must be granted to the account of the user who established the secure connection between both JMap Servers. For more information on this topic, refer to the JMap Server to JMap Server Connections section.

Copy data

Allows a user to copy the data of the layer to another layer, or to export the data of the layer using JMap Exportation extension.

 

To modify layer permissions, press Add... in order to select the users and groups to which you wish to grant permissions. Only the users and groups who are already authorized to open the project containing the layer can be granted permissions associated with this layer.
