Server for a list of the resources

setup of map layers.

Assign users to a group, and assign that group to
the confidential resources, changing the pass-
words regularly.
Assign access keys to the resources. Access key
security is transaction-based (every request
requires authentication) and requires no client-side
action. This makes it easier to allow distribution to
casual or public user groups without requiring
them to know and enter the name/password for
every layer in a published map.
Add users to the group called Authors. All mem-
bers of this group will have map authoring privi-
leges and full access to map data resources.
