Organization management

Desktop products within an Organization

Organization management enables the centralization of information and the management of access rights to PIX4Dcloud projects and sites, which are generated by users according to their roles within the Organization. This article outlines the process for using desktop licenses that belong to the same Organization.

Information: This information is valid for PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dsurvey, PIX4Dmapper, PIX4Dfields and PIX4Dreact.

How to use a desktop license that belongs to an Organization

Users with an Owner, Manager, or Editor role at the Organization level are entitled to use all desktop licenses owned by the Organization.

  Owner Manager Editor Reader Members
Use Desktop licenses YES YES YES NO NO

Warning: A User with Role-Based Access Control within a resource does not have the right to work with desktop solutions. 

Users with Organization roles that belong to only one Organization

Users belonging to only one Organization are required to simply log into the desktop application.

Example: Jane belongs only to Organization 1, which owns a PIX4Dmapper license with five seats, and holds the role of Editor. PIX4Dmapper can be installed, and the Organization's license can be used by Jane by logging in with her email and password.
In contrast, Joe, who also belongs to Organization 1 but holds the role of Reader, is not permitted to use the license. While Jane is using the license, only four seats will remain available, meaning that four additional users can use the license simultaneously.

Users with Organization roles that belong to more than one Organization

Before using the desktop application, the User must select the Organization from which the license will be taken. This is done by setting the preferred Organization as the Default Organization. For more information, refer to the Organization management.

Warning: PIX4Dmapper is automatically logged with the Dafult organization license. In the case of PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dsurvey, PIX4Dfields, and PIX4Dreact, the license is taken from the latest organization logged.

Example: John belongs to both Organization 1 and Organization 2, each of which holds one PIX4Dmapper license. If the license from Organization 2 is preferred, the Default Organization must be set to Organization 2.
Upon logging into PIX4Dmapper, the license will be taken from Organization 2. To use the license from Organization 1, the Default Organization must be changed to Organization 1, followed by logging in again.

How to upload a project from a desktop product to PIX4Dcloud

Some Pix4D products can be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud for processing or for sharing the results:

  • An active PIX4Dcloud license is required to upload a project from PIX4Dmapper to PIX4Dcloud.
