Configure AI assistants

Organizations can allow AI assistant use at the organizational level and by assigning roles to individual members. Generative AI capabilities are only enabled when the organization opts in. The general privilege to use AI assistants is granted to all default roles. For more information and answers to common questions, see Trusted AI in ArcGIS.

Allow AI assistants

Access to AI assistants in ArcGIS Online is administered at the organization level. Enabling access includes AI assistants at various stages of functionality, including beta and preview.

    Your account must be a member of the default administrator role or a custom role assigned the set of privileges to configure the organization's security settings.

  2. Click Organization at the top of the website, and click the Settings tab.
  3. On the AI assistants page, enable the Allow use of AI assistants by members of your organization toggle button.
