Changing the Layer Permissions

When creating or uploading a new Layer you have to set who can view, download, edit and manage that Layer. By default only owners can edit and manage layers, anyone can view and download them.

In order to modify the Layer Permissions settings you have to click the Change the Layer Permissions button in the Layer page.
