2. Layman – Spatial Data Manager
When geodata goes public, several steps are
needed: Upload the data to the server, import the
data into the database, publish the data through
some kind of map server, and, if needed, configure
the access rights so only the users with the proper
priviliies can display the data. LayMan - the Layer
Manager - sorts it out for you.

3. Layman – Spatial Data Manager
LayMan offers a single entry point into the
filesystem, PostGIS database and GeoServer
Data can be published either from the uploaded
files, or from the tables or views already present in
the database. Various parameters of a layer can be
set, with access control being of a special interest

4. Layman – Spatial Data Manager
While manipulation with the published layer (write
access) is limited to the members of the group that
layer is published to, the read access (showing the
layer in a map) can be granted to any other group.
Users and groups are managed within the Liferay
portal which encapsulates the whole system.
