Role |
User role: § Viewer – Can list, load and edit, from the client-side, all layers for which the user has valid view/edit access. § Publisher – In addition to all Viewer permissions, a Publisher can also publish layers to SkylineGlobe Server and manage these layers from supporting clients, e.g., TerraExplorer Pro. § Site Administrator – In addition to all Publisher permissions, a Site Administrator can also log in to SGS Manager of a specific site to perform SGS management and configuration activities. This includes management of all the site’s services, data sources, layers, groups/users and some site settings. § Super Administrator – A Super Administrator is the only user who can add, delete, and edit properties of server sites. In addition to all Site Administrator permissions, a Super Administrator can also log in to SGS Manager to any of the server’s sites to perform SGS management and configuration activities. This includes management of all the server’s data sources, layers, groups/users, and settings. |
|
Site |
Server site for this user. See “About Working with Sites” in the “Working with Sites” chapter for information. |
|
Group |
User group. Users can view / edit layers published by other users in the same user group if the respective view / edit permission for the layer was set to “My Group” or “Everyone”. |
|
Password |
Type the user password. Click Generate to automatically generate a password. |
|
Click Generate to automatically generate an access token. This property is only displayed if the Role was set to Viewer. Creating an access token for a user enables the user to directly access SGS layers without logging in to SGS. In TerraExplorer for Web or Desktop, the access token parameter should be appended to the end of your server URL, e.g., http://domain.com/sg/TerraExplorerWeb/TerraExplorer.html?catalogid=ABC&token=44bbedbbc179469b85c47a42b301b141 Note: This property is only displayed for super administrators and site administrators. Note: Generating a token will invalidate any previously generated token for the same user. |
