Settings Interface
Manage users, audit logs, and account-level settings for your MapsIndoors solution.
Settings
The Settings section of the MapsIndoors CMS provides account and solution-level configuration that sits outside of day-to-day map editing. Here you can manage who has access to the CMS and review a full history of changes made to your data.
To access Settings, click the Settings icon in the left navigation bar of the CMS.
Users
The Users page allows administrators to manage who can access the CMS and what they can do within it.
Admin only: Only users with the Administrator role can create, edit, or delete other users.
User Roles
Editor
Can add and edit location data, display rules, and map content. Cannot manage users or access solution settings.
Administrator
Full access to all CMS features, including user management and solution settings.
Viewing Users
When you open the Users page, you will see a list of all users who have been granted access to the current solution. You can search for a specific user by entering their email address in the search box in the upper right corner.
Inviting a New User
Navigate to Settings → Users in the CMS sidebar.
Click the New User button at the top of the page.
Enter the new user's email address, select their role (Editor or Administrator), and assign them to the appropriate solution(s).
Click Create. The user will receive an invitation to access the CMS.
Editing a User
To change a user's role or solution access, click the pencil icon to the left of their email address. Make your changes and click Save.
You can also delete a user from this same edit view if they no longer need access.
Logs
The Logs page gives you a full audit trail of changes made to your MapsIndoors data. This is useful for tracking who changed what and when — whether for compliance, debugging, or general oversight.
Note: The Audit Log is a configurable feature.
Accessing the Logs
Navigate to Settings → Logs in the CMS sidebar.
Filtering the Log
You can filter the audit log by the following criteria:
Date range — narrow results to a specific time window
User — filter by the email address of the user who made the change
Object ID — find changes to a specific location, building, or other data object
Data object type — filter by the type of object modified (e.g.
location,building,category)
Understanding Log Entries
Each entry represents a single modification to your MapsIndoors data. The log is structured as a CSV file with the following columns:
Time
When the change occurred
User
The email address of the user who made the change
Action
What happened: Created, Changed, or Deleted
ObjectType
The type of data object modified (e.g. location, building, graphdata)
ObjectId
The unique ID of the modified object
ObjectData
A JSON snapshot of the object's data at the time of the change
To identify exactly what changed, compare the ObjectData field across two entries for the same ObjectId.
Downloading the Log
Click Download Log to export the currently filtered log as a .csv file, which can be opened in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
Common Use Cases
How do I see who edited the route network?
Filter ObjectType to Graphdata. To narrow it further, also filter by the User email.
