Security (Application tab)

Each application has its own security tab. Here, you can set individual permissions for a single application or its elements.

Assign an Application to a User/Group

Per default, all applications are available to all users/groups that have specific permissions to the backend. Nethertheless, it is possible to hide applications from individual users/groups:

1. Edit your application by clicking Application.

2. Choose Security.

3. Publish your application for everyone by clicking Security → public access or in the application overview by clicking the Publish button.

4. Alternatively and for an individual configuration, click the Add users and groups button and configure your selection. Then, set permissions like view, edit, delete, operator, master or owner via the rights table.

5. Logout from Mapbender by Logout and log in again with a configured account to test the configuration.

6. Another method would be to choose Security → Global Access Control Lists → Applications to quickly set permissions for several users/groups to all applications.

Assign single elements to a User/Group

Per default, all elements are available to all users/groups that have permission to an application. It is possible to hide single elements from individual users/groups:

1. Edit your application by clicking Application.

2. Choose Layouts.

3. Every element has a ACL element button (key). Choose the ACL element button from the element that should be only availale for selected users/groups.

4. Now, add the users/groups via the Add users and groups button. Then, set permissions like view, edit, delete, operator, master or owner via the rights table.

5. Test your configuration. For example, open the application with a user account that has (no) rights to a previously configured element.
