Manage service permissions

Service Permissions are available to Enterprise Cloud Plan customers. Contact your Koordinates account manager to discuss enabling service permission management for your site.

This feature is active development. Editable service permissions in the UI in March 2025.

Data that is imported to your Koordinates platform is used to power a range of services, from WFS APIs, tile services, exports and Kart access. Service Permissions provide data administrators with tools to manage access to specific services within their platform.

To view and manage services for a layer, visit the Services tab in the layer's management area. From here you can see a list of all available services for the dataset.

Service List

By default, most services will be enabled according to site policies, and permissions for individual services are determined by the permissions that a user has on the owning dataset. For example, a user who has permission to view this layer will be able to use the Spatial Query UI.

Disabled Services

Services that have been disabled for a dataset will be listed with "No Access":

Disabled WFS Service

In this scenario, the service will be completely unavailable to all users, including site and data administrators.

Group Permissions

Permissions for individual sevices can be limited to specific groups. If a service has one or more group permission listed, this will displayed under the service with the note "Group access only".

It is important to note that a Group permission will further limit access to the service based on the data permissions. In this example, users of "Test Group" will be able to access the data so long as this group also has access to the data via a download permission.

Other users with download permissions will not be able to access the WFS service, with the exception of Site and Data Administrators of the layer, who will always have access to enabled services.
