Team

Users added to a team get access to the team owner’s Web GIS and Premium functionality even without having a Premium subscription.

To create your own team, you need to be on Premium. User who have “Free” subscription plan cannot become team owners, but can be added as team members by a user that has Premium subscription.

Information on your team and the teams you are a member of is available in your account.

Team information

In the “Teams” section of your profile there are two tabs. In the “Owner” tab you can see the list of NextGIS users added to your team, if you have one. On the “Member” tab you can see the teams you participate in.

In this section you can manage your team and your participation on other teams.

Warning

To create your own team, you need to be on Premium. Only the team owner can add and delete team members.

According to nextgis.com plans, the Premium account holder has an opportunity to give access to Premium-functions to 4 more users who have a NextGIS ID by adding them to the team.

To mange your team, go to your account and select Teams - Owner: https://my.nextgis.com/teammanage/owner.

Invite user to your team

By default, the team includes the owner of the Premium subscription (see Fig. 16.). To add other users to your team click Add.

Enter an email address and click Send invitation.

Fig. 17. Sending an invitation

The user receives the invitation to this email address. If the email is not yet associated with a NextGIS ID, the user needs to sign up. If a NextGIS ID is already created, the user can just go to their account and accept the invitation in Teams - Member.

Team owner can check the status of the invitations in the account. Pending invitations can be cancelled.

Once the invitation is accepted, the user is moved to the list of team members (see Fig. 19.).

If you wish to let user access your Web GIS, set up permissions.

If adding new users is unavailable, it means that you’ve reached the limit of users for your subscription plan. Both team members and pending invitations are counted towards the limit.

You can increase the size of your team. To do so, email us at sales@nextgis.com.

To free a slot in your team, you can cancel a pending invitation or delete one of the team members.

Delete user from team

You can delete users from your team at any moment. To delete a user, click Remove and confirm the user removal.

Fig. 21. User removal confirmation

When you remove a user from your team it doesn’t delete them from Web GIS, instead the Web GIS user is deactivated. Administrators still have access to the resources owned by the deactivated user and the history of their activity in versioning logs.

Allow team members to access Web GIS

By default a new Web GIS user has no permissions and cannot view any resources.

To allow new users to immediately start working in your Web GIS, set up permissions for them in advance:

• The best way is to set up permissions for a user group with the option “New users” enabled. Users will be included in this group upon their first login to the Web GIS.

• An alternative way is to set up permissions for the principal “Authenticated”.

Team memberships

On the Member tab you can see the list of teams you joined and the received invitations awaiting your decision. Here you can:

• open Web GIS of the team owner by clicking on the link;

• accept invitation and join a team or decline an invitation. A blue circle means that you have incoming invitations;
