    • Indoor Mapping provides the map admin, map editor and the map editor limited roles.

    Before you begin

    Access to Indoor Mapping Map Studio requires the following three roles:
    • Map administrator (sn_map_core.map_admin): Map admins in Map Studio can set up the map data and objects in Indoor Mapping Map Studio and has complete access to the application. Map admins can also manage user criteria records.
    • Map editor (sn_map_core.map_editor): Map editors can set up maps in the Indoor Mapping Map Studio, import floor plans, and can manage maps (edit or delete) in the Map Studio.
    • Map editor limited (sn_map_core.map_editor_limited): This role has limited access to a campus or only few campuses. Users with this role can view and edit campuses that are assigned to them. The Indoor Mapping All > Indoor Mapping > Map Studio menu is hidden and is not available for this role.

    Map admins use user administration and user criteria to provide access to a campus for the map editor limited role. If user access to a campus is not provided, then users with this role cannot see or access any campus in the Map studio. To provide user access to a campus, complete the following:
