Licensing requirements for spatial analysis

The administrator of your organization must grant you the required privileges to perform analysis. You must have the privileges to create, update, and delete content; publish hosted feature layers; and perform spatial analysis.

The required privileges for feature analysis are available through the following user types and roles:

  • Creator, Professional, or Professional Plus user type
  • Publisher, Facilitator, or Administrator role, or an equivalent custom role

Raster analysis tools and raster functions require a Professional or Professional Plus user type and the Imagery Analysis privilege.

Additional privileges may be required for some tools. The tables below summarize the licensing requirements for all tools.
