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

Navigate to the **Layers** page and hover over the layer for which you want to configure permissions. Click the **Actions** button :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/0b6JzEUkWXXawpmbHLWgC_upload.png" alt caption width="52" height="31"}, then select **Permissions **:inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/kZNlCNtmvxR05wU8oaPKP_upload.png" alt caption width="27" height="25"}, as shown in the figure below.

In the **Users** tab, select the checkbox :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/jiAXqDtnyLZoKKBywKkXK_upload.png" alt caption width="24" height="22"} next to the user you want to grant permissions to (Jane Smith in this example). This will grant the user permission to **view** and **identify** features in the layer. Then, click **Save** to apply the changes, as shown in the figure below.

Once Jane Smith is granted permission to view and identify features in the **Landmarks**, **Blocks**, and **Buildings** layers, these layers will appear on the **Map** when she logs in to her account. However, no tools or basemaps will be available, as she has not been granted permission to access them.
