Geofence Overview

Geofence Purpose

The Geofence is intended to provide constraints for API user accounts. An account with geofenced privileges cannot execute services if input geographies fall outside of the user account geofence constraints. Geofence limits the use of underlying datasets to specific areas defined by the geofence constraints.
