Restriction
There are restrictions on your permission to edit. For more information, please see Editing restrictions
- Editing area
- You can edit segments, places, and junctions, and close map problems and update requests within your editing area. You gain editing area near where you drive, and by being granted managed area as an area manager or map raid participant.
- Lock rank
- Segments, places, and comments can be locked. You can only edit these objects if they have a lock rank less than or equal to your editor rank. For more information on turn arrows and junctions connected to segments locked above your rank, please see Manual_segment_lock Editing_restrictions#Manual_segment_lock
- Staff place locks
- Sometimes, Waze staff lock places, often in preparation for an ad campaign. The effect is as if the place is locked above the rank of all other Waze editors, but the lock is not visible in WME.
- Closure locking
- A segment that has a closure cannot be edited (with a few minor exceptions until the closure has been removed from the segment. So if a segment has a lock rank of 1 but a current closure, then it will require an editor with Real Time Closure permission for that segment to alter the closure so that a change can be made to the segment. In the USA, only rank 3 and higher editors can edit closures.
- Closures
- Editors receive permission to add and edit Real time closures (RTC) in two ways.
- Rank -- upon achieving minimum RTC rank (3 in the USA), editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segment within their editable areas or any segment that is not locked above their rank.
- RTC areas -- In addition, editors may be granted RTC areas. Within these areas, editors can add and edit Real Time Closures on any segments, no matter the lock rank.
- Edits limited by rank
- Setting real-time closures, deleting segments, closing update requests and map problems and renaming cities are all limited by rank.
- Trusted place editor status
- Editors below rank 2 and non-registered client users need approval from a rank 2 or higher editor for all places regardless of the lock rank, until they reach a trusted status. After currently unpublished place approvals, they become trusted editors and their places no longer need approvals. Rank 2 and higher editors never need approval for edits to places locked at or below their rank.
