Legacy modes and current settings

--- title: "Legacy map access modes and current settings" description: "See how each legacy map access mode, such as Public or Standalone, matches the current map access settings in the Access section of Configuration." seo: title: "Legacy map access modes" sidebar: label: "Legacy access modes" --- We moved your maps from the previous version of MangoMap. The access modes have new names, but every legacy mode is still possible. Each mode below has a matching set of settings in the `Access` section of the map's `Configuration` page, and the screenshot under it shows those settings. The new settings are also more flexible than the legacy modes. You can combine them: for example, a `Public` map can be listed in the public portal but kept out of search engines, which no legacy mode allowed. See [What changed](#what-changed). Each row pairs a legacy mode with the current settings that replace it. For how access works in full, see [How map access works in MangoMap](/docs/map-access/concepts-map-access) and [How dataset access works in MangoMap](/docs/dataset-access/concepts-dataset-access). ## Public Turn on `Allow public access`, set `Publishing mode` to `Public`, and turn on `Show in public portal` and `Allow search engine indexing`. Anyone with the public link can view the map. It is listed in the public portal, and search engines can index it. Publish to web card with Allow public access on, Publishing mode Public, the Public link, and Show in public portal and Allow search engine indexing both on

Publish to web card with Allow public access on, Publishing mode Public, the Public link, and Show in public portal and Allow search engine indexing both on

## Standalone There is no `Standalone` setting. Use `Public` with `Show in public portal` and `Allow search engine indexing` turned off. Anyone with the public link can view the map, but it is not listed in the public portal and is not indexed. Publish to web card with Allow public access on, Publishing mode Public, the Public link, and Show in public portal and Allow search engine indexing both off

## Hidden Turn on `Allow public access` and set `Publishing mode` to `Link-only`. `Link-only` is the current name for `Hidden`. Anyone with the private link can view the map. It is not listed in the public portal and is not indexed. Publish to web card with Allow public access on, Publishing mode Link-only, the note Anyone with the private link can view. Not listed. Not indexed., and the Private link with copy and regenerate buttons

## Password Turn on `Allow public access`, set `Publishing mode` to `Password`, and set a password of at least 6 characters. Anyone with the public link and the password can view the map. It is not listed in the public portal and is not indexed. Publish to web card with Allow public access on, Publishing mode Password, the note URL and password required. Not listed. Not indexed., the Public link, and a masked Password field with Minimum 6 characters required

A password carried over from the previous version still works, but the `Password` field cannot show it. To see the password, set a new one. ## Internal Turn off `Allow public access`, and give access groups `View` or `Edit` in `Share with team` as needed. Only signed-in users with permission can open the map: the account owner, the map's creator, and members of groups with access.

Access section with Share with team, where the Team group has View on and the Editors group has Edit on, and Publish to web with Allow public access off and the note Web access is off. Only signed-in users with permission can access this map.

## What changed - `Allow public access` now separates signed-in access from web access. - `Publishing mode` now controls how outside viewers open the map. - `Show in public portal` and `Allow search engine indexing` only matter for `Public` maps. - Turning `Allow public access` off also turns off `Show in public portal` and `Allow search engine indexing`. - `Show in public portal` and `Allow search engine indexing` are separate switches. Legacy `Public` had both on and `Standalone` had both off, so a map that is listed but not indexed, or indexed but not listed, is new. - Group `Edit` still works with every publishing mode, as it did with every legacy mode. - An offline map no longer opens for every team member. It moved with `Allow public access` off and no group access, so only its creator and the account owner can open it until you give groups access. See [How to share a map with groups](/docs/map-access/share-map-with-groups). ## When to use each current setting - Use `Public` when you want anyone with the link to open the map and you want the map listed and indexable. - Use `Link-only` when you want a private link without portal listing or search indexing. - Use `Password` when you want a shared password in addition to the public link. - Turn `Allow public access` off when the map should stay inside the signed-in workspace audience. ## Related - [How map access works in MangoMap](/docs/map-access/concepts-map-access) - [How to configure map access](/docs/map-access/configure-map-access) - [How to publish a map to the web](/docs/map-access/publish-map-to-web) - [Map access settings reference](/docs/map-access/map-access-settings) - [How to share a map with groups](/docs/map-access/share-map-with-groups) - [Map access](/docs/map-access) - [Dataset access](/docs/dataset-access) - [How dataset access works in MangoMap](/docs/dataset-access/concepts-dataset-access) - [How to configure dataset access](/docs/dataset-access/configure-dataset-access)
