Private and public access #

The Nebula Viewer comes with two different ways of accessing data.

Differences between private and public access #

In private access, you will be able to switch between your uploaded projects inside the Viewer. Changes you make to your projects, like adding or deleting measurements, will be saved if your user account has the necessary permissions.

In public access, you only have access to the shared project (or just parts of it). Measurements can be made, but they will not be saved.

Private access #

In private access, you will be prompted to connect the Viewer with your NextCloud account.

If you open the Viewer out of the Plugin via the Open Project in Viewer button, this process will be automated for you.

If you prefer to do it manually or switch the user or NextCloud instance, open https://pointcab.de/nebula.

You will be prompted to enter your NextClouds URL, for example: https://mydomain.nextcloud.com.

After that, you will have to grant the Viewer access with your NextCloud credentials. If you are already signed into your NextCloud account, this should happen automatically. Otherwise, you will be asked for your user name and password.

Public access #

Public access requires no additional configurations. You paste the link into your browsers address bar and the project will open.

Changes you make will not be persistent and deleted on page refresh.
