Adding a new MAPSET

Adding a new MAPSET

A user has only write access to a GRASS MAPSET he created. This means, besides access to his own MAPSET, each user can also read maps in other user's MAPSETs, but he can modify or remove only the maps in his own MAPSET. All MAPSETs include a WIND file that stores the current boundary coordinate values and the currently selected raster resolution (Neteler & Mitasova 2008 [#!neteler_mitasova08!#], see Section <A HREF="node11.html#sec:grass_region">9.8</A>). <P>

1. Start QGIS and make sure the GRASS plugin is loaded
2. In the GRASS toolbar, click on the grass_new_mapsetNew mapset icon to bring up the MAPSET wizard.
3. Select the GRASS database (GISDBASE) folder grassdata with the LOCATION alaska, where we want to add a further MAPSET, called test.
4. Click Next.
5. We can use this wizard to create a new MAPSET within an existing LOCATION or to create a new LOCATION altogether. Click on the radio button Select location (see Figure <A HREF="node5.html#fig:create_grass_location">28</A>) and click Next.
6. Enter the name text for the new MAPSET. Below in the wizard you see a list of existing MAPSETs and its owners.
7. Click Next, check out the summary to make sure it's all correct and click Finish
