NPSTORET - User Security
National Park Service, Water Resources Division. 2026. NPSTORET - User Security. National Park Service, Water Resources Division
The NPSTORET security system provides the opportunity to protect your data from improper modification by assigning user level permissions. When security is not enabled (the default), users do not have to log in with a password so every user is able to modify any portion of the Organization’s data. When user security is enabled, users are required to log in to the Organization with their own log in ID and password so it is possible to individually restrict the ability to edit data. Note that security is set for the Organization, not the entire database. This means if the back end contains multiple secured Organizations then a user must have a log in created in each Organization in order to access that data. It also means that unsecured Organizations in the database can still be modified by all users, no matter what permission levels they have in the secured Organizations.
