Uploading well and monitoring data

Well and Monitoring Data are managed at the organization level. An organization regroups one or several users who can upload data and edit data from their own organization. These users have the status of Editors. Each organization also has an Admin, who determines which users in the GGIS have an Editor's role. If you wish to upload or edit data from an organization that is already registered in the GGIS, contact the Admin of this organization. If your organization is not yet registered, contact: ggis@un-igrac.org.

User roles in the Well and Monitoring Database

Admins can manage their organisation(s) by clicking on Organisation, after clicking on their user name in the top right of the screen.
