Team Settings

Stop members from creating new maps

Team admins All guides

By default any team member can create a new map. If you would rather keep a tidy, curated set of maps, you can reserve map creation for team admins only.

Turn off member map creation

  1. Open Team Settings

    Sign in, click the menu (top-right), and choose Team Settings.

    Only team admins can open Team Settings.

  2. Expand Team editor

    Open the Team editor section.

  3. Disable member map creation

    Tick Disable map creation by team members (team admins only) and click Save.

What members can still do

This only affects starting new maps. Team members can still open and edit the maps they already have, add and update locations, and publish changes. Only team admins can create a new map while this is on.

This pairs well with locking members to the simpler editor. See Keep your team in the simple editor, and Team roles and what each can do for the wider picture of what each role controls.
