Map Editing Rights

To prevent a map file or a dashboard file from being modified by multi-user concurrently and thus cause conflicts, each map file or dashboard file can only have one editor.

The editing rights can be transferred within a team so that all team members have the chance to share their insights. By default, the creator of a map or dashboard owns its initial editing rights.

Map Editing Rights

Map viewers cannot save any changes to a map file or update the map file unless they save it as another map.

Note: The users who have the Domain Management privilege can directly delete any public map file of which editing rights is unclaimed or occupied by other users. A system notification and an email will be sent to their current map editors after the map file is deleted.

For site maps and device group maps:

• The editing rights of a site map or system device group map is granted to the user who firstly opens the map, and automatically released once the user closes the map.
• Only the users with the Site Management privilege can own the editing rights of a site map when they open it.
• For the maps of public device groups and personal device groups, the device group creator owns the editing rights by default.
• The editing rights of a site map or a system device group map will be automatically released from its editor immediately after the editor is forced to log out of the system by a system admin.

Dashboard Editing Rights

Dashboard viewers cannot save any changes to a dashboard file, but they can save it as another dashboard for further editing.

Tip: Dashboard viewers can comment on widgets in a dashboard by adding notes.
