Hi everyone, thanks for the replies!

It looks like GeoFence has the functionality we need, we didn't see that one yet. We're probably going to generate GeoFence rules with the GeoFence REST API which will probably make the system more maintainable.

Greetings,
Robin

Hi Robin,
did you have a look at the GeoFence project?
https://github.com/geoserver/geofence/wiki/Main-concepts

With GeoFence, you could setup one access rule for each partner with a CQL filter like "partner_id = 100" and apply it to any restricted layer you have (supposing they all have a "partner_id" column).

Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    We're using GeoServer for a GIS project where a lot of different
    partners input data in our system though a web client.

    We have public layers available with limited data, but partners
    should be able to get 'private' layers which contain all of their
    data.
    Partners should not be able to view the private data of other
    partners under any circumstance.
    Every partner will have an account on GeoServer.

    The 'private' layer for a partner would be an sql view containing
    information of every partner with a filter on partner id.

    We could create a private layer for every partner containing only
    the information they have access to, but because we're working
    with over 200 partners this could be quite cumbersome because we'd
    have to create over 200 separate layers and link each layer to the
    correct single account.
    The only difference between these layers would be the partner id.

    It's possible in GeoServer to add CQL filters to a layer, but as
    far as we could see it's only possible to append the actual filter
    id to the request URL which would enable partners to change the
    filter id to get data from other partners.

    We noticed it's possible to add properties to a user account. Is
    it possible to create a CQL filter which reads a property from the
    current user account?
    This would enable us to create one 'private layer' and allow for
    each account to use the same layer but only see the information
    associated with their account without being able to alter the filter.

    If that's not possible, what would be the recommended way to
    implement this use case?

    Thanks in advance,
    Robin K.
