Overview

iShare GIS may be used to display information that is sensitive or requires filtering from general use; for example: locations of domestic abuse crimes must not be widely available, detailed planning applications should only be available to those in the planning department. For further details please see Roles and User Authentication.

Use the Add  or Remove  buttons to add and remove Windows Groups from the Roles Editor or click the Edit icon  to amend existing details.

Name

The name for your iShare Role e.g. Planning where Planning is the name of your Map Source. This does not have to be the same but it makes it easier to quickly identify which role has been created for which Map Source.

Windows Group Name

Here you need to select one of the Windows Groups that you have created for iShare.

Note

Windows Groups such as "Administrators", "Guests", "Remote Desktop Users", etc. listed under Groups in the Builtin container should NOT be used as bases for iShare Roles. This is because Microsoft .NET may not list an Active Directory User as belonging to these Groups on the iShare Web Service server but only as belonging to them on the Domain. This means that the user will not belong to the Role(s) in question (as we rely on the fact that they are in the Local Groups to authorize authorise them).

Make sure that you Save all your changes in Studio by clicking the Save button. You will also need to close Studio and re-open in order to see any new roles under the Map Source Roles node.
