Server Actions

GBD WebSuite supports lots of different commands. In your application and project configuration you may decide which you want to use in your particular installation. Each action configuration requires at least the type property (the first word of the command name, e.g. for the command mapRenderXyz, the type will be map), and, optionally, an access block (see Authorization), telling which roles have permission to execute this action type. Some actions require additional options.

Here’s a quick overview of supported actions (see Configuration reference for configruation details).
