User seats enable clients to access the Buxton Platform and its insights. Users come in two types:
Reporting Users: Able to operate fully in the application, including site scoring if a Buxton site score model is purchased.
Viewing Users: Able to open and view the work performed by others, but they are not able to run reports themselves. Aside from reports, they are able to work in the platform and utilize its functionality.
Viewer users can create and save maps and layers independently. This enables them to design custom map visuals for their own use or collaborative projects. However, they cannot run reports based on the maps they have created. Another user with reporting permissions is needed to execute such reports.
Map-Related Permissions for Viewer Users
Viewer users can create and save maps and layers independently. This means they have the ability to design custom map visuals for personal or collaborative purposes.
However, viewer users cannot execute reports based on the maps they create. For such tasks, another user with reporting permissions must intervene.
User Type | Site Scores | Standard Reports | Work in Scout | Maps |
Reporting User | Run if Purchased | Run and View | Yes | Create, Save, Run Reports |
Viewing User | View Only | Viewing Only | Yes | Create, Save Only |
Buxton legacy clients may have slightly different user access:
User Type | Site Scores | Standard Reports | Work in Scout |
Power User | Run & View | Run & View | Yes |
BI User | View Only | Run & View | Yes |
Viewing User | View Only | View Only | Yes |
Buxton can further refine who can view or edit various functions and can enable specific permission controls for users at the client’s request.
