Sharing Layers with External Users

You must be an organisation administrator to do this.

This article describes how to share one or more of your private Layers with someone outside of your Organisation. We call these External Users.

How to get here

Once you've logged into Vision and are viewing the map, do the following:

1. Click the Account Management button (it's the second button from the right in the top menu).
2. Scroll down until you find the section titled Organisations I'm linked to, and click on the relevant organisation.
3. In the first section titled Organisation details, click on the Manage button to the right.
4. Scroll down until you find the section titled External Users we're sharing Layers with, and click on the Add button to the right.

Step 1

Enter the email address of the person you want to share one or more Layers with.

Take care to get this right as it cannot be changed. It MUST also be a valid email address as the person will need to activate their Vision account before gaining access to your data.

Step 2

In the section titled Select Layers to share, you will find a list of all of your private Layers. Simply select the ones you want to share by clicking them, and if applicable, select a Filter to apply to it.

Step 3

Click the Save button in the top-right to complete the process where you will be returned to the Organisation Summary page. We will automatically send the new External User a notification.
