Manage Groups and Users

If you have a Multi User account, here's how to manage accounts and privileges.

Manage Groups and Users is found by clicking on your Account Name in the top right corner of eSpatial.

In here, you can determine the mapping permissions users have using Groups; every users must be assigned to at least one group and the group determines the permissions they have.

By default there will be two groups created:

  1. Admin Group – this group will have all permissions.
  2. User Group – this will have all permissions EXCEPT Administer Groups and Users

The first user on an account will be assigned to both groups.

Each group can be assigned a set of permissions which will decide the access those users will have to certain functions within eSpatial.
