Geoportals: public vs private

Updated May 2026·7 min read

A geoportal is a web viewer published from your project’s layers. The mechanics are identical for all profiles; what changes is who you open it to and for what. This guide is common — and the examples adapt to your vertical.

What changes between public and private

  • Public — accessible by URL without an account. Ideal for citizens, transparency and outreach.
  • Private — requires invitation and login. Ideal for clients, subcontractors and internal teams.
  • In both cases the source data is never downloaded: it’s served tiled and indexed, with optional watermark.

Configuring visibility

  1. 1In the project, open Geoportals and click New geoportal.
  2. 2Select the layers it includes (it doesn’t have to be the whole project).
  3. 3Choose Public or Private. For private, invite by email or domain.
  4. 4Publish: you get the URL and, if you want, the embed code.

Note. You can change visibility at any time; viewers of a public geoportal don’t consume users from your plan.

How it’s used in each vertical

The feature is the same; the use case changes. Choose your vertical:

Example for:
Internal geoportal for O&M

The operator publishes the classified corridor and distance analyses as a private geoportal for their operations and maintenance technicians, by zone.

  • Access by branch: each team sees only its section of the network.
  • Pruning priorities visible on the map.
  • Critical infrastructure data: never public.

Limits and consumption

Geoportals draw from your plan’s usage multiplier (number of geoportals and GB served). Viewers are unlimited on all plans.
