Managing users

The security module of SuperMap Service Manager protects the security of GIS services through role-based access control. The "User Management" page is used to view and manage all users in the current GIS system, including the administrator account created when accessing the SuperMap server for the first time. The SuperMap GIS system has stored all user accounts, and the administrator can add, modify and delete users on this page.

Operations on users can be performed in the "User Management" tab of the security module after logging in to the service manager.
