Roles

Roles in JMap Cloud Portal define user categories, each associated with a set of access and editing privileges for an organization's resources.

Each member of an organization is assigned a single role, chosen from the following:

• Administrator

• Editor

• Viewer

These roles determine which functions and sections of JMap Cloud Portal a user can access.

Only Administrators and Editors can log in to JMap Cloud Portal. Viewers interact solely with applications that display the data configured in the portal.

The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the roles:

• The Administrator has full access to all functions in the portal and applications.

• The Editor manages data and projects but has no administrative access.

• The Viewer only uses the applications to view or interact with data, depending on granted permissions.

Administrator

The Administrator is responsible for the administrative management of the organization within JMap Cloud Portal, including user management, API keys, and organizational settings.

The Administrator can:

• Create, modify, and delete API keys

• Configure organization settings

• Invite new members

• Assign and modify user roles

• Create, edit, and remove organization members

• Manage the organization’s extensions

These functions are accessed through the Organization section. The chapter Managing the Organization provides further details.

From the Dashboard, the Administrator can also quickly create API keys.

Additionally, the Administrator has all the privileges of the Editor role.

Editor

The Editor is the default role for organization members.

Editors do not have access to administrative functions but are responsible for setting up and configuring projects that are shared through JMap Cloud applications.

The Editor can:

• Create, configure, modify, and delete the following resources:

  • Data sources

  • Projects

  • Map layers and non-spatial data tables

These tasks are performed through the Dashboard, Data Sources, and Projects sections of the portal.

Viewer

The Viewer is an end user who accesses project data via JMap Cloud applications. This user does not access JMap Cloud Portal.

The Viewer can:

• Access a project and its data

• Navigate the map and interact with data (e.g., selecting features, viewing details, etc.)

• If granted appropriate permissions, edit geometries and/or attribute values of a layer or table
