<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a technical question that I was hoping one of you could answer. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm working with an organization that has a Drupal website and is doing GIS mapping. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The users have usernames and passwords on Drupal. They will use a data uptake tool to upload GIS data. Should the users make a mistake, however, we'd like to give them the option of editing or updating their data. We're trying to figure
out how to do that while protecting user privacy.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">One possibility is to use some form of authentication. I recommended using the IETF's OAuth. Because we have a Drupal website, however, one of our developers recommended using
<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/hybridauth">HybridAuth</a> instead. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or, in case of a mistake, would it be easier for the user to upload the data again and have the new entry replace the old one?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any best practices in this area?<o:p></o:p></p>
