11 Data Sharing & Collaboration

AVAG is built around the idea that everyone on your team should be working from the same data. If you’re a surveyor uploading drone flights, a project manager reviewing progress, or a client checking in remotely, you can all be in the same environment at the same time.

Inviting users

To add someone to your account, go to User management in the left sidebar and click + Invite user in the top right corner. Enter one or more email addresses (separated by commas), choose a role, and click Save. Rhe person will receive an invitation by email.

You can track who has been invited and who has already joined under the Pending invitations and Active users sections.

User roles

When inviting someone, you assign them one of three roles:

AVAG Guest is for anyone who only needs to view data: clients, external consultants, or stakeholders who should be able to see results but not make changes. Guests can view data assigned to them but cannot upload, delete, or create new projects, objects, or layers.

AVAG User is for active team members: drone pilots, field workers, or anyone who needs to do more than just look. Users can view and delete data, upload new datasets, and create projects, objects, and layers.

AVAG Admin has everything a User has, plus access to User management so they can invite and manage other team members.

Additional options when inviting

When setting up a new user, you’ll also see two checkboxes worth knowing about:

Automatically assign new layers — If this is turned on, whenever a new dataset is uploaded to an object the user already has access to, they’ll automatically get access to that new layer too. Useful for team members who should always see the latest data without needing manual updates.

Assign all existing projects, objects and layers — Checking this gives the new user access to everything currently in your AVAG account in one go. Handy when onboarding someone who needs a full overview from day one.
