To grant a user permission to view basemap layers, follow these steps:

Navigate to the **Layers** page and hover over the basemap layer for which you want to configure permissions. Click the **Actions** button :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/Mmp9k3fV4r2kvIIfCb51Z_upload.png" alt caption width="52" height="31"}, then select **Permissions **:inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/DQMg3PmvVn4BC0L9BgFWW_upload.png" alt caption width="27" height="25"}, as shown in the figure below.

This will allow her to view the basemap layer.
