Configure roles and privileges

The features and functions available in ArcGIS Enterprise Sites depend on the user type, role, and privileges assigned to your account. A user type determines what default roles can be assigned to a member. Roles are comprised of privileges. Learn more about User types, roles, and privileges.

Members can create and manage content in Enterprise Sites with the following roles: Administrator and Publisher (default) and use ArcGIS Enterprise groups to collaborate. Learn more about how to Use groups.

Note:

All roles to create and manage content with Enterprise Sites require the Creator user type.

Administrator

An administrator in Enterprise Sites is basically the default Administrator role that is part of any organization, or a custom role with certain privileges. An administrator has full administrative access to the ArcGIS Enterprise used by internal staff to create and manage content with Enterprise Sites.

The Enterprise administrator can assign the default administrator role to other members. The Administrator can also create a custom role based on the Publisher role with certain administrative privileges, such as view all members, invite new members, create categories, change member roles, and manage security access for configuring enterprise logins.

Assign roles and create custom roles

Administrators can configure roles and privileges for members of the organization. Members who have a custom Administrator role that includes these privileges: View all (Members), Change roles (Members), and Member roles (Organization Settings) can also assign roles and privileges. This includes assigning privileges to custom roles.

Assign a default or custom role

To assign a default role or configure a custom role for a member of the ArcGIS Enterprise, ensure that you have the appropriate administrative privileges for the organization.

To assign a default role, follow the steps under Change member roles.

To configure a custom role, follow the steps under Configure member roles.

  1. Provide a name and description for the role.
  2. Once you've created this custom role, you can assign it to people in your organization.

    Note:
    If you don't see the person to add, they may not be a member of the organization yet. Follow the steps provided in Add members to your portal to add the person to the ArcGIS Enterprise.
