The different user roles in the CartoVista Server

When you create a user, you need to choose his role. Here is what those roles are for.

Map Gallery

Map gallery users can view or edit maps for which they were granted access permission.

Map gallery users only have access to the Map Gallery. They are not able to edit any layer or map on the server. Here is what the CartoVista Server looks like for these users:

map-gallery-view

Map Creator

Map creators can view or edit maps for which they were granted access or modify permission. They can also add maps, layers, data tables and tile layers.

They have access to the Map Gallery and Data view. Here is what the CartoVista Server looks like for these users:

map-creator-view

When enabled on the Server, they also have access to Basemaps and Observatories.

Administrator

Administrators have a modify permission on all objects available on CartoVista Server. They can also add maps, layers, data tables and tile layers. In addition, they can manage users, groups and their access rights, as well as obtain statistics on the actions performed by each user.
