VRM Portal manual

11. Share your site

In this section:

You can share your VRM site using the 'Share' menu in the left hand side bar of your installation.

Sharing varies from adding a user to the site as they are not required to create a VRM account. Instead of the site being linked to their account it is accessed via a special URL.

No settings will be shown until site sharing is enabled - all site sharing features are disabled by default.

You can protect your site sharing with a password.

'Hide my exact location' will reduce location data accuracy for shared site access visitors to several sq km.

Show on Victron World will place your site on the public Victron World site - for more information about Victron World see this blog.

A private URL allows you send a link to someone, or post it on the internet sharing this URL will mean as long as sharing is enabled anyone who has it will have read-only access to your site.

If you would prefer to control individual access use the add user feature instead, which you can revoke.

Alternatively you can change the password.

The embed option allows you to insert an iframe of your system dashboard into your own website. How this is done will vary depending on your hosting, search your content management documentation for 'inserting an iframe' and it should explain where to insert this code.

Note

These sharing options do not support real-time data, and will use the VRM update frequency you have set on your GX device.
