Collaborate

When you create an ArcGIS GeoPlanner project, you become the project owner. Project owners can invite other users in their organization to collaborate on a project. Once the other users accept the invitation, they become part of the project team and can open the project, access project scenarios, and create scenarios. Project owners and team members have access to all the scenarios associated with a project. For example, if a project owner creates three scenarios for the project, all other team members can open and use those three scenarios. If a team member creates a scenario for a project, the project owner and other team members can open and use that scenario. Project owners can also export a dashboard to the project. Other team members can import that dashboard.

When a project is opened by a team member who is not the project owner, a user web map is automatically created and stored in that team member's Content page in ArcGIS Enterprise. By default, this web map contains all scenario layers, operational layers included in the project template web map, and a dashboard if one has been shared with the project. Other data added or created by the project owner, including data added from ArcGIS Enterprise, analysis layers, and evaluation layers, is not included in the web map for a different user. However, the user can use the add data function to discover these layers and manually add them to their own project web map.

The project owner can invite another user to, or remove an existing team member from, a project. Once the invitation has been accepted, the user can open the project, create scenarios in the project, and access other data and dashboards shared with project team members.
