Creating Groups

TerraAmazon uses a structure of groups to define user privileges, as well as to allow them to activate projects and execute vectorial edition tasks.

Access the interface by going to the menu PROJECT MANAGEMENT → GROUP.

Click on the Group tab. Note that there are already three groups, which were created by the Conceptual Model. As we can suppose by the names, the Administrator has the privilege of Administrator functions, the Project Manager has the privilege of Project Manager functions and the Operator has only privileges of Operator functions.


To create a new group, type the group name in the Group name field and click on the button to add the group to the database.

On the Group List check the desired privilege option to the new group and click on the button to save the update to the database.

Operator Functions disallows the access to the entire Project Management and Administration menus and to the following functions, which would be available on the context menu by right clicking on a layer:

Project Manager Functions, besides the Operator Functions, will also allow the access to the Project Management menu, which provides access to: Access Control, Classification Control, Interest Area, Connected Users, etc.

Administrator Functions gives full control to the user, allowing access to all menus and system operations.

Note: Users that do not belong to any group cannot activate projects, add tasks, not execute vectorial editions through projects. However, it is possible to execute simple vectorial edition on layers that are not locked for edition. This type of edition does not execute any spatial operation on data, allowing only the user to create polygons and type values in the class fields manually for each polygon.
