# How to hide a part of the map from certain users

## Introduction

### Purpose

It is not possible to directly hide certain parts of the map in NavVis IVION like it is with Datasets. However, it is possible to hide a map which is in a separate Bundle.

## Procedure

1. To hide the map, extract the datasets which are required to be hidden into a separate bundle.
2. Change the viewing rights in the new bundle to those required.
3. Regenerate the maps for both bundles.

A dataset is a piece of a site, the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device or the result of an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds.

Bundles, specifically referred to as Alignment Bundles in NavVis IVION, are collections of related datasets that have been grouped together after being aligned. The primary purpose of creating an alignment bundle is to save the relative locations of these datasets to each other, enabling coordinated management and use within the system
