Authorizations

The authorizations step of the dataset editor controls who can access a dataset's metadata record and its published layer, independently of each other:

  • GeoNetwork rules apply to the metadata record.
  • GeoServer rules apply to the published data/layer (not available for empty datasets, since they have no layer).

For each side, you can:

  • toggle it between public and restricted access
  • when restricted, grant read or write access to specific geOrchestra groups or roles, picked from the same group lists used by GeoNetwork and GeoServer

Changes are applied immediately: toggling public/restricted or editing a group's rule calls the backend right away, which forwards the change to GeoNetwork or GeoServer respectively.
