   Multiple email domains in one project

   When we first create a team for you, we will ask you for the email domain (address) that members will be using to register. If your team includes members from multiple organizations, we can also add their email domains to your list of accepted domains for a small extra fee.

2. The admin of your Maptionnaire Team sends you an invitation to join the team (if your organization is only just beginning to use Maptionnaire, we will invite you first). Once they have  sent the invitation, a red dot will show up next to your user name when you log in to Maptionnaire (see image below). Please note that you will not be sent an email notification about the invitation! 

   

3. You can accept the invitation by either clicking the dot or by choosing Manage teams from the drop-down menu. You will then be taken to the Manage teams section, where you can accept the pending invitation by clicking the button that says Accept invitation.

Manage teams is the section where you can view and manage your team members and roles. Your rights to manage the team depend on the role that you have been assigned and the license that your organization has purchased. You can access the Manage teams menu from the drop-down menu that opens below your username in the upper right corner (please see images above). The teams and subgroups available for you are shown on the screen. You can change the team's settings by clicking Team settings and navigating to the right tab under which the settings are organized.

You can always see what team you are working in from the upper left corner of the page (see arrow in the image below). If you belong to more than one team, the drop-down menu that opens when you click the team name will also show your most recently visited teams and subgroups, thus enabling you to move easily between them.

Each member of a team has to have a role, which defines the access they have in the project group. The currently available default roles are:

Admin

Complete set of permissions

Producer

Permissions to create questionnaires and pages and to upload materials

Moderator

Permissions to moderate discussion on a project web page

Translator

Permissions to view and translate questionnaires and project web pages

Roles are defined when a member is invited to a team, but they can also be changed later. This can be done under the Members tab by picking the new role from the drop-down menu under the member's name and clicking Assign.

You can manage the permissions related to a role under the Roles tab (as shown in the image below). To add or delete permissions from a role, simply (un)check the boxes and click Save. Remember that if you made changes to a role that has already been assigned to team members, you need to re-assign the role to them following the steps described above.

You can also create custom roles (click Add role and follow the instructions).

If you would like to use Maptionnaire for several projects and with various project groups, then the Teams module is for you. The Teams module allows you to create subgroups, thus enabling the building of a more complex and extensive organization structure. Everyone in a main team automatically inherits access to any subgroups under it, but you can also restrict project workers' access to specific subgroups. Any materials (maps, images, documents...) uploaded to a team or a subgroup are only available in that specific group.

It is important to understand that subgroups are not a file organization system for the content you create with Maptionnaire. Rather, they are a way to manage the people working within your organization and to ensure that not automatically have access to all information across departments, which they may not be authorized to view.  Everyone in a main team automatically inherits access to any subgroups under it, but you can also restrict project workers' access to specific subgroups. Any materials (maps, images, documents...) uploaded to a team or a subgroup are only available in that specific group.

How to create a new subgroup

Before creating a new subgroup, think about whether you need one. Remember that the Teams hierarchy is not intended to be a tool to organize your projects, but to organize the people working in them. If the same project group is to use the same materials (such as images and maps) in multiple projects or questionnaires, it may be more efficient to do all this work within one team or subgroup. You cannot move materials between teams or subgroups. However, if you create a subgroup for a team, all team members will be automatically granted access to the new subgroup.

In the example below, both groups below Mapita are subgroups (click the image to make it larger). You can view the settings and members of subgroups by clicking Team settings.

To create a new subgroup, you must have the right to do so. You can see whether you have this right from your team's details, under the Members tab. 

To create a new subgroup, simply click the Add subgroup button in the Subgroups tab. Give the group a name and a description and click Save. Then you can start creating content under the new subgroup and inviting new members. All members of a team or a subgroup that has a subgroup will automatically inherit rights to that subgroup.
