User roles and Permissions | CleverMaps Documentation

CleverMaps is a multitenant cloud application, which means that a single instance of the application serves multiple users at the same time. Registered users have access to various projects. There can be more than one user in a project, and one user can have access to one or more projects. In the scope of a project, users can also have different user roles which describes what they are allowed to do with the project. More about this relationship in CleverMaps Platform.

User roles

There are 7 user roles in CleverMaps - Viewer, View Creator, Metadata Editor, Data Editor, Load Data, Location API consumer and Admin and 36 permissions assigned to them.

User role	Description
Viewer	is the lowest user role available. After accepting an invitation to a project, you become a Viewer. A Viewer can open map views in a project and filter data.
View Creator	has all the permissions of Viewer role and, in addition, it is able to create/delete own project metadata of following types: `view`, `dashboard`, `marker selector`, `indicator drill`. NOTE: After creating `views` by View Creator role, these (personal saved views) are visible only to creator and are displayed in alphabetical order at the end of view list in project page in UI. In order for personal saved views to be visible for all users these views must be included in `defaultViews` list of `ProjectSettings` metadata object. Managing of `ProjectSettings` metadata object can be done only by user with Metadata Editor or Admin role. See Project settings for more details on `defaultViews` list.
Metadata Editor	has all the permissions of Viewer role and, in addition, it is able to create/update/delete all project metadata (except for `DataPermissions` metadata type), and validate the data.
Data Editor	has all the permissions of View Creator and Load Data role.
Admin	have all the permissions of the lower user roles, plus you are able to load/dump project data, invite other users into the project, and manage existing memberships. User management interface is available in the application by hovering the Account icon on the bottom left of the Project page, and selecting User management.
Load Data	is able to load and validate the project data only. Users with this role may be used for automated data upload, as an account used in a Shell script. This role is not part of the role hierarchy described above.
Location API Consumer	Users with this role cannot access Studio views and underlying raw data of the project. Location API Consumer role is used for projects where data is managed by a data provider. Location API Consumers access only aggregated data through bulkPointQuery jobs endpoint. Usage of the bulkPointQuery endpoint is logged and is measured by number of queries and metrics. Usage of the endpoint may be subject to charges by data provider.
