Roles
Roles in JMap Cloud define user categories, each associated with a specific set of permissions for accessing and modifying an organization’s resources.
Each organization member is assigned one of the following roles:
Administrator
Editor
Viewer
These roles determine which features are accessible and which sections are visible in JMap Cloud Portal.
Only Administrators and Editors can sign in to JMap Cloud Portal. Viewers interact only with the applications that publish the data configured in the portal.
The diagram illustrates the relationship between these roles.
Administrator
The Administrator is responsible for managing the organization in JMap Cloud Portal, including users, API keys, and organizational settings.
Administrators can:
Create, modify, and delete API keys
Configure organization settings
Invite new members
Manage member roles (assignment and modification)
Create, modify, and delete members
Manage organization extensions
All these functions are available in the Organization section. The Managing the Organization chapter describes each function in detail.
Administrators can also quickly create API keys directly from the Dashboard.
Administrators also inherit all Editor privileges.
Editor
The Editor does not have access to administrative functions but is responsible for configuring projects published through JMap NG applications.
Editors can create, configure, modify, and delete the following resources:
Data sources
Projects
Map layers and non-spatial data tables
Forms
These tasks are performed through the Dashboard, Data Sources, Projects, and Forms sections of the portal.
Editors also inherit all Viewer privileges.
Viewer
The Viewer is an end user who accesses data through JMap NG applications and does not have access to JMap Cloud Portal.
Viewers can:
View projects and their data
Navigate the map and interact with data (selection, information display, etc.)
If permissions are granted, edit geometries and/or attributes of a layer or non-spatial data table.
