Site access settings

Site administrators manage access on the Public Access page: who can make data public and, on the Business Cloud Plan and Enterprise, whether the site is public or private. To open it, select Site Settings in the top navigation, then Public Access in the side menu. The side menu shows whether your site is currently Public or Private.

• A private site is only available to users who have been given access.
• A public site is available to anyone. Datasets with public permissions are also available through koordinates.com and plug-ins.

Team Cloud sites can’t be made public, so the steps to make a site public or private apply only to the Business Cloud Plan and Enterprise. See Koordinates pricing to compare plans.

Make a site public

1. On the Public Access page, under Site Access, select Make site public.

   

2. In the confirmation dialog, select Make public.

Make a site private

Once your site is private, only users you’ve given access can use it. To add users, you need to invite them to the site.

1. On the Public Access page, under Site Access, select Make site private.

   

2. In the confirmation dialog, select Make private.

Public data on a private site

On a private site, you can still let datasets be made public. Turn on Allow public data access via koordinates.com, even when site is private. Public datasets then appear on koordinates.com with your branding, but they don’t link to your private site.

Let group administrators make data public

The Group Administrator Public Permissions panel appears when public data is allowed on your site. Turn on Allow group administrators to make datasets public. to let group administrators give their datasets public permissions. When it’s off, only site administrators can make data public or take public access away again; group administrators can still set other permissions.
