Summary

We took a brief journey through GeoServer security. From the plain installation, which ships with a very low-security level, you learned how to create users and give them grants to access data and perform tasks on GeoServer.

In the next chapter, we will focus on performance, which is a big challenge when you eventually deploy your site in production. Users might wait in anticipation for your maps; however, if it takes too long to download them, they will soon abandon your site.
