Manage service permissions

Data that you import to Koordinates powers a range of services, from WFS and tile services to exports and the Data Table. Service permissions let you choose which of these services are available for each dataset.

Services are set in two places:

Site-wide, in Site Settings > Services & APIs. This sets which services are available across your site, who can use them, and whether they’re on by default for new datasets. See Manage site services & APIs.
For each dataset, in the dataset’s Services tab, described on this page.

Who can manage service permissions

The Services tab is available on sites (Team Cloud Plan, Business Cloud Plan, Enterprise) to users who can administer the dataset. Turning individual services on or off for a dataset needs a Business Cloud Plan, Enterprise plan. See the pricing page to compare plans.

Change the services for a dataset

Select Manage from the top menu.
Find the layer, table, set or catalog item in the Datasets tab and select it.
Select the Services tab.

The tab lists the services available for the dataset, grouped into Read-write services and APIs, Read-only services and APIs and, for vector layers, Vector Tiles. Each service shows whether it’s on or off.
Open the … menu next to a service and choose Off or On for all users.
Select Save.

The Save button appears once you’ve made a change. Select Cancel to discard your changes.

What the settings mean

On for all users: anyone who has permission to use the dataset can use the service. For example, anyone who can view a layer can use the Spatial Query UI on it.
Off: the service is unavailable for this dataset for all users, including site and data administrators.
Always on: the Admin API can’t be turned off.

If a service is already limited to selected groups, it shows Selected groups only. To change who it’s limited to, contact Koordinates support. To open it to everyone again, choose On for all users.

Services that are turned off site-wide in Site Settings > Services & APIs can’t be used for any dataset.

Services you might see

Which services appear depends on the type of dataset and your site’s plan and settings. They include:

Admin API: the general Koordinates API. Always on.
WFS and WFS Changesets: OGC Web Feature Services.
WMTS & XYZ Tile Service: map tile services. For layers, this row also shows the dataset’s tile grids.
Esri REST Service: Esri REST APIs, if enabled for your site. See Find and use Esri REST services.
Spatial Query API: query vector layers, sets, rasters and grids from outside your site. See Vector query and Raster query.
Spatial Query UI: lets people who are exploring data on your site click the map to see what’s there.
Data Table API: list and query the data outside your site.
Data Table UI: the data table and data sample preview on your site. If it’s off, people can’t view or search the dataset’s data table on your site.
Export API: export the data, on your site or with the Export API.
3D Tiles Service, Point cloud (COPC) Service and Point cloud viewing in the map viewer: for point cloud and 3D data.
Vector tiles (PMTiles, MVT, ArcGIS Vector Tile Services and MBTiles) and Vector tiles in the map viewer: for vector layers. See Vector tile (MVT) services.

If your site uses external service templates, they’re listed under Read-only services and APIs too, each with an On or Off setting. See Add an external service template.
