Project Permissions

The Permissions button appears in the Projects section and is enabled when at least one project is selected. It is also displayed in the project configuration interface.

This section has two tabs: Permissions and Owners. The owners are the only ones who can manage the administrative permissions for the project, manage the list of owners and delete it.

A list of users and groups with permissions appears in the Permissions tab. Click on to add new users or groups.

Available users and groups are configured in the JMap Server section of JMap Admin. Refer to the Users and Groups section for more information about managing users in JMap Server.

Project permissions are divided into two categories: administrator permissions and user permissions.

Administrator permissions

Administrator project permissions define the project administration rights for the users authorized to use JMap Admin. For more information on concepts related to permissions and administration roles in JMap Admin, refer to the Managing Permissions section.

Administrate project	Allows an administrator to modify the project and its content.
Access project	Allows an administrator to access a project to view its content and to use it when deploying JMap applications.

User permissions

User project permissions determine which users and groups can open a project. Access will be denied to users who do not have the appropriate permissions. Security can also be configured at the layer level. For more information on this topic, refer to the Layer Permissions section.

Open this project

Allows a user to open a project from a JMap application.

Anonymous user

Adding the Anonymous user to the list of users authorized to open the project gives users the possibility to open a project without any authentication. This is equivalent to removing all security for opening the project. This is useful for public applications, when no project access control is needed.

Everyone user

Adding the Everyone user to the list of users authorized to open the project allows all users to open the project, including the Anonymous user. This means that the project is accessible to all users, with or without authentication.

Authenticated users

Adding the Authenticated users to the list of users authorized to open the project 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.
