GeoLocation scenarios

Available in Classic and VPC

You can use IP-based location information services through NAVER Cloud Platform's GeoLocation. You can view the detailed usage methods in Getting started with GeoLocation and Using GeoLocation, but we recommend taking a look at the overall usage scenario of GeoLocation first. Reading the guide after learning the usage scenario will allow you to use GeoLocation more smoothly. The overall sequence of using GeoLocation and description of each sequence are as follows:

1. Set usage permissions
2. Set monthly usage limit
3. Add notification recipients
4. API calls
5. View usage history

1. Set usage permissions

If you need to manage and share GeoLocation with multiple users, you can operate it by setting permissions for each user. Permissions for each user can be configured as administrator and user permissions through Sub Account of the NAVER Cloud Platform, and roles can be defined for each permission. Since permission settings are not required, you can set or cancel the settings at any time in situations where permission is required while using GeoLocation.

You can refer to the following guides:

• Managing GeoLocation permissions
• Sub Account user guide
