Blanking of a portal in general

The blanking option allows administrators to blank (hide) selected data below a certain depth. The depth is defined by a surface (2D grid). This means that data below this depth are invisible for users at lower access levels. By default, a GeoCloud portal is setup without the blanking being activated. Blanking activates some restrictions depending on the various user roles (hyperlink to user roles allowances). When activating blanking you will restraint your portal in the following way: - Viewers will no longer be able to use 3D viewer. - Viewers will no longer be able to see 2D and 3D grids on the map. - Access to draw WMS for viewers are denied. The viewer user role will therefore only see published data, mostly on profiles, and all the data that the viewer is allowed to watch must be positioned above the blanking surface.
