Disabling users' ability to create built-in portal accounts
This ArcGIS 10.3 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.
By default, users can click the Create An Account button on the portal sign-up page to create a built-in portal account. If you're using enterprise accounts or you want to create all accounts manually, you can disable the sign-up page and prevent users from creating their own accounts using the following steps.
- Open a web browser and sign in to the ArcGIS Portal Directory as an Administrator of your organization. The URL is formatted as https://webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis/portaladmin.
- Click System > Properties > Update Properties.
- In the Properties field, add the disableSignup property, for example:
{ "disableSignup": "true" } - Click Update Properties. Your portal is restarted.
After the portal restarts, users will no longer have access to the sign-up page and cannot create their own accounts.
