Sharing layers

GeoNode has the ability to restrict or allow other users to access a layer.

Anonymous access

  1. Go to the layer preview of the first layer uploaded, and copy the URL to that preview page.

    Note

    The URL should be something like: http://demo.geonode.org/layers/geonode%3Asan_andres_y_providencia_administrative

  2. Now log out of GeoNode by clicking on your profile name and selecting Log out.

    Log out

  3. Now paste the URL copied about into your browser address bar and navigate to that location.

  4. You should be redirected to the login page. This is because when this layer was first uploaded, we set the view properties to be any registered user. Once logged out, we are no logner a registered user and so are not able to see or interact with the layer.
