Overview
Workspaces are used in Betterview to allow administrators to assign different groups of property profiles to users; users can switch between workspaces as needed.
Workspaces cannot be created, edited or archived by account administrators; these tasks can be carried out only by Nearmap Support personnel. Administrators can manage the assignment of users to workspaces, and can send invitations that will assign new users to workspaces.
Managing workspace assignments
As an administrator, you can use MyAccount to manage workspace assignments. Users can be assigned directly to workspaces for non-SSO users.
If your account uses SSO, you can assign user groups defined in your Idp to workspaces. In this case, a user’s groups are used at sign-in to determine their workspace access, simplifying the process of workspace management. If you want to use group assignments contact Nearmap Support.
Once this is set up you will not be able to assign users directly to workspaces.
You must also configure your Idp to send group memberships to Nearmap at sign-in using the groups claim. You can test whether this is correctly configured using Test the Connection as the “Provider response” in the test result page shows the groups received by Nearmap, as the value of https://nearmap.com/claims/group. For example:
{
"https://nearmap.com/claims/auth0_connection": "customer-com-okta",
"https://nearmap.com/claims/group":[
"group1",
"group2"
],
"auth0Profile": "...",
...
}
Roles
User and group assigments can have one of theese roles:
- Create: this allows users to create and register new properties within the workspace.
- Edit: this allows users to edit properties that already exist in the workspace.
