Subscriber View
The Subscriber level view provides data and support to professionals. These individuals are identified as state and local professionals who need access for planning and stewardship activities. They will go through a thorough vetting procedure to ensure that their request for access of actual site location data is appropriate. The vetting procedure is in place to protect the resources represented in ArchSite, which are both vulnerable and non-renewable. It is envisioned that county and city planners among others will fall within this category. Subscriber level users do not upload sites and documents; they are only viewing the data generated and uploaded by others.

The Subscriber View provides access to archaeological site data and restricted National Register properties in addition to the non-restricted data layers available in the Public Viewer. The Subscriber View also includes additional tools for searching the database and provides an export functionality that allows users to obtain digital shapefiles from the all of the data layers.

The Subscriber View is password protected and only available to users who sign a license agreement and pay an annual subscription fee.

Site Editor View
The Site Editor level comprises those professionals who are actively engaged in research and are producing the site forms, reports, and other materials that are all linked to the database. These users will be rigorously vetted, as they will be uploading the data upon which everyone else will rely. As they upload the data the researcher will be providing electronic signatures attesting to the accuracy of what they provide. Any questions can and will be referred back to the professional who submitted it.

The Site Editor View is password protected and only available to users who sign a license agreement and pay an annual subscription fee.
