Hi!

This is a Product Idea from a NETCON client:
 

Customer: Unifique (7732)

Feature Request Summary: GEO/ Workspace/AdminTool / Expanded User Rights

Functional Area / Module: GEO/ Workspace/AdminTool / Expanded User Rights

Description/Use Cases:

Users with low permissions, like view-only users, are able to use the network export tool, which poses a risk due to the sensitive information that can be extracted via a KMZ file. The suggestion is to block the "Export to Google Earth" tool through the AdminTool / Expanded User Rights feature. This would enhance security by restricting access to this functionality based on user permissions.

Business impact of limitation or missing of the feature:Information security is impacted.

Other necessary information or resources:

Add tool control in GEO in the AdminTool:



Remove permission in GEO:



Best regards.

  Upvoted. 

  We have a similar idea from our customer in Indonesia (Moratel), to add an option for user rights on export data from GEO and tabular data.

  Upvote as well.

  - But I actually would like the inverse of this request as well. 

  - Tool to IMPORT kmz/kml directly.  Realize this would be complex, and involve the 3rd party application MapXtreme/MapInfo… but most input organizational users plot out via Google Earth Corporate or Publicly licensed tool, and share data for our Organization's consumption to compare with ConnectMaster. 

  - So, to avoid unnecessary conversions from KML/KMZ > SHP, or to TAB… then add layer in GEO (wasted cycles)… user could simply (and temporarily) slap polylines/shapes (with or without styling or attribute data) onto Cosmetic/Marker Layers for reference, and dump it when complete… or duplicate needed GIS portions to ConnectMaster Oracle DB layer for permanent integration.

  - Many Contract construction vendors we use “red-line” or As-Built field construction with kmz/kml files rather than ESRI SHP/other… simply because ease of use.
