MeshMonitor v3.1.0 introduced an updated User Permissions system to provide more granular control over channel access.

What's Changed

Channel permissions now use a tri-state system with three separate controls:

• View Map - Can see node positions on the map
• Read - Can read messages from the channel
• Write - Can send messages to the channel

This allows configurations like "map-only" access where users can see nodes but not read messages.

Action Required

Administrators should review their permission settings:

1. Navigate to Settings > Users and review each user's permissions
2. Pay special attention to the Anonymous user - this controls what unauthenticated visitors can see
3. For each channel, verify the appropriate View Map and Read permissions are assigned

Common Issue: Blank Maps

If users report seeing blank maps, this is likely a permissions issue. The View Map permission must be enabled for a channel for users to see nodes on the map.

See our FAQ: Why is my map blank? for troubleshooting steps.
