Organizations and Roles

GeoPard User and Role Management

GeoPard's user and role management capabilities are designed with flexibility and security in mind, providing comprehensive control over Permissions and Data Access for each user.

Each GeoPard account must be configured with at least Permissions for individual users, or both Permissions and Data Access for accounts associated with an Organization.

Permissions define a set of actions that a user can perform within the platform. They are categorized into four roles: ReadOnly, Assistant, Farmer, and Admin.

Data Access determines which data a user can access, primarily focusing on the agricultural data associated with different farms. Users are typically assigned to one of the categories: External, User, and Advisor. Externals are usual GeoPard accounts that want to access farm data without any Organization. Users can access farm data shared with them directly through the Organization. Advisors have access to all farms' data for the entire Organization.

The Admin role, serving as the Organization Owner and Billing Point, is endowed with the authority to configure Permissions and Data Access, ensuring that each user has appropriate access to both the platform's functionalities and the relevant datasets.
