The Neapoljs User Access Control allows you to have total control over the look & feel, all page elements, functions, search options, maps & layers and assign them to individual user groups. In addition all actions can optionally be stored in logging files or in the database for analysis purposes.

Users & Groups

Neapoljs allows to define Users and Groups. For each group one can basically define individual applications having total control of the GUI and along with it all of the Neapoljs elements and functions:

• Look and feel (GUI) of the application assigning templates to groups

• Functionality (toolbar)

• Available Maps & Layers

• PDF Print Templates

• Search Options

Groups

Groups for the internet (password free access) and for the administrator are defined by default. Any other group can be defined as one likes. In addition, the access control can easily be integrated within your existing access control system.

Users

After one has defined groups, users can be added:

• Assign / change the password

• The public user (internet) can be deactivated if there is restricted access only

• Restrict the access to an IP or to IP ranges

Logging

Using the Neapoljs CMS, you can define what shall be logged for each of the users or in general. This is what one could call "big brother", however it is extremely useful:

• Usage of the functions and analysis of the areas of interest.

• See which maps are used (and which are not used ...).

• Used search options and results.

• Proof that a user has printed a map at a specific time (i.e. if a construction company digs a hole and hits your fiber network after they printed a map ...).

Logging Options

• Functions: log all functions used; for navigation functions the coordinates are as well stored.

• Search Options and resulting coordinates are logged.

• Displayed Maps and Layers are logged, so that you could do i.e. a ranking.

• The total number of map displays.

• The prints using HTML, optionally including the generated image (database only).

• The prints using PDF, optionally including the generated PDF (database only).

The logs can be written either to the Neapoljs database or to text files.
