Overview
Two of the most powerful permissions in Mobaro are View Locations and View Location Groups. These permissions grant users access to view all activity related to every location within the account. While these permissions are useful in some cases, they can also expose sensitive data if assigned indiscriminately.
The Power of Location Permissions
View Locations: Users with this permission can see all activities related to every location across the account, regardless of which location they are assigned to. This grants broad visibility into location-specific data, which can be useful but also risky.
View Location Groups: This permission grants similar access, but across groups of locations. Again, it provides visibility into all data within the group, which can significantly affect what a user is able to see.
Warning: We highly discourage granting View Locations and View Location Groups unless absolutely necessary. Assigning these permissions to users who don’t require access to all locations can lead to accidental data exposure and loss of confidentiality.
Best Practices for Location Permissions
Limit access to a specific location or group: Instead of using broad permissions like View Locations, assign users to specific locations or location groups to restrict their visibility to only the relevant data.
Use these permissions for managers or administrators: If you need someone to oversee all locations, assign these permissions to managerial or administrative roles, but do so with caution.
