About authorizations

GeoStore provide two default users:

  • admin with pw admin
  • user with pw user

Authorization, at the moment, in GeoStore is only at resource level. It means that there is a Security entity that provide the authorization mechanism according to a resource.

Every user can perform specific actions according to the own level of authorization:

  • admin: is the administrator of the system. This user can perform any kind of action on every stored resource.
  • user: this user can perform any kind of action on its own resource, but not in other user's resources.
  • guest (not authenticated): this user can only see all resources in the system, but not delete or modify them.
