Hi Oliver, thanks for the response, looking at the documentation it looks like I could create projects programmatically for users and so have one for each user. The project would need to get its data from a map file unique to the user which I create as part of the main site process, but would I need to recreate the project if the map file were altered e.g. new layers added or layers removed.
