Share Options

GeoNode encourages to publicly, share and make available for download information uploaded on the platform. By default, anyone can see and download a document. However, the document responsible can choose to limit access to the document to some contributors and/or groups.

Through the Share Link shown in the menu it is possible to manage the document share options. it opens a form where set up who can:

  • None (the document is not visible).

  • View Metadata (allows to view the document).

  • View and Download (allows to view and download the document).

  • Edit (allows to change the document metadata and attributes).

  • Manage it (allows to update, delete, change share options, publish/unpublish).

Changing the Document share options

Usually those with options of editing metadata and the management of a document are in charge and responsible of the document, i.e. the contributor who uploaded it has those options by default.
