What a client may do

You choose these when you give a client organisation access. To see them from the client's side, read Open something shared with you.

Permissions

Permission	What it allows
View the map	Look at the release on a map.
Comment	Start conversations about the release and answer them. They appear in your project's conversation (the map's Conversation panel), marked as from the client, under a band saying the client reads every answer in it. Your client reads only the conversations it started, with your answers in them.
Download original files	Download the map files of the release as you uploaded them.
Download map layers	Download what GISweaver made from the release, such as its map layers, in one archive, or one at a time. The original files are not in it.
Open project files	Download the files you kept with the project and marked Send with the release, such as PDFs and photos. Any other original needs Download original files.
Copy files into their own project	Copy the release's original files into one of their own projects in Draft or Review, where each is checked and filed as an upload is.

• Each permission opens only its own door: Open project files does not download a map file, and Download original files does not open a file you kept with the project.
• Your own conversations stay internal; the client does not read them.
• When you pick Only the map layers I choose, Download map layers is switched off and unticked, because a derived product is not split by layer.
• Once your client downloads, exports or copies a file, that copy is theirs: nothing on GISweaver can recall a file that has left.
• If you pause or end the access while a copy is still running, the rest are not copied.
• A file crosses to another organisation only once it has been checked, whatever you tick; a file that is flagged, cannot be checked or is still being checked is left out.

Which files

• Every file in this release is the usual choice: the access covers whatever the release holds.
• Only the files I choose lets you search by name or kind and tick files. Your client still sees every file listed; the others read Not included and cannot be taken.
• Only the map layers I choose narrows what is drawn on the map; the file list stays as it is.

A grant narrows files, or map layers, or nothing: never two at once. A file the access does not cover reads Not included on your client's list. A file can be visible without being downloadable; see Download original files when allowed.

What each act does

You do these from the access's menu: see Change, pause or end a client's access.

Change which files	Untick the files they should lose.
