Project Permissions

 

Project permissions define which users and groups of users can open a project. Access will be denied to users who do not have the required permissions. Security can also be defined at the layer level. See Layer Permissions for more information.

Defining project permissions

Only one type of permission is associated with projects:

From the project detail section, press Permissions to access the project permissions section. A list of currently allowed users and groups is displayed. Press Add to add new users or groups and automatically grant them the Open this project permission. The available users and groups are configured in the JMap Server section in JMap Admin. See Managing Users and Groups for more information about managing users in JMap.

Anonymous user

Adding the anonymous user to the list of authorized users gives users the possibility to open a project without any authentication. This is equivalent to removing all security for the project. This is useful for public applications, when no project access control is needed. When using an application without a login prompt, the anonymous user is used implicitly.

Everyone user

Adding the everyone user to the list of authorized users allows any authenticated user to open a project. This is useful for private applications where all users are allowed to open a project but must authenticate themselves.
