Manage groups and users in Lizmap Web Client 

Principles 

As an administrator, you can:

create, rename or delete user groups
create, update or delete users
link a user to one or more groups

Nota

We highly recommend managing rights at the group level, not at the user level.

You may need to create groups to allow specific Lizmap rights :

access to some Lizmap repositories, projects or even layers
using editing tools, see Editing — Edit a layer from the web interface
access to OGC Web Services URL

Nota

More info about repositories rights : see Define the rights for each group

Groups created by default 

Existing groups are visible on Lizmap ‣ Administration ‣ Rights.

admins : to manage all settings on the Lizmap instance
publishers : designed for GIS technicians, to allow accessing server information needed from the QGIS plugin. The right lizmap.admin.server.information.view must be enabled.
users : to recognise a connected user, to allow some basic rights like changing his own password
__anonymous : a «special» group for a non connected user, which allows to set rights for non connected users

Default group are the groups in which any new user is automatically added.

Manage users 

On Lizmap ‣ Administration ‣ Users, you can:

create a new user
edit a user
add a user to an existing group
remove a user from a group
remove a user from the instance

Truco

Once users have been created, you must add them into groups to grant associated rights.

Advertencia

According to the server configuration, the user receives a link to set his own password. If you want to change this behavior, read Setting password for users, if you are the system administrator.

Rights 
