Advanced settings

Administrators and those with the appropriate privileges to manage the organization's website can configure advanced (security) settings such as allowing sign-in options, registering email links, and adding an information banner.

Note:

Most staff organization settings are now managed in the ArcGIS home organization.

To change the settings of the ArcGIS Online staff organization, sign in as the administrator for that organization. The staff and community organizations require different sets of credentials. Learn about configuring the settings for the ArcGIS Online community organization (ArcGIS Hub Premium only).

Configure sign-in and other options for staff

The employee organization is the primary ArcGIS Online subscription used internally by an organization's staff to access ArcGIS Hub and manage official content, such as sites, initiatives, and datasets. A Hub administrator can configure the sign-in options that appear for an employee to sign in at hub.arcgis.com or on a site.

To configure sign-in and other options for staff, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. In your user workspace (My workspace), click the Settings pane.
3. Under Organization settings, click Go to organization settings to access the settings of the ArcGIS Online employee organization.

   These include settings for logins, registering external links (Allowed email links), and policies for Access and permissions such as Display an option in your Sign In panel to allow members of other organizations to sign in.

   Tip:

   Enable this option to conserve your organization's ArcGIS accounts by allowing users to sign in with an ArcGIS account provided by their own organization.

Add an information banner

An information banner is a thin bar that sits above various places in ArcGIS Online. Administrators can use an information banner to alert members of status updates and for other announcements. The banner displays across all sites and pages created in the organization.

Learn more about the information banner

To add an information banner, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to the staff organization as a staff administrator or sign in to the community organization as a community administrator.
2. In your user workspace (My workspace), click the Settings pane.
3. Under Site display defaults, click Configure information banner in ArcGIS Online to provide information to members of your organization about your site's status and content.

Register external links sent in emails

To send an email to group members that includes a web address, an administrator must register the URL before the email can be sent. Web addresses with the arcgis.com or esri.com domains do not need to be registered.

Note:

Only an administrator with a default administrator account (staff administrator) or a community administrator account can register external links and view the list of registered web addresses.

To register external links sent in emails, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to the staff organization as a staff administrator or sign in to the community organization as a community administrator.
2. In your user workspace (My workspace), select the Settings pane.
3. Under Organization settings, select Go to organization settings to access the settings of the ArcGIS Online organization (that you are signed in to).
4. Select Security, find Allowed email links, and follow the guidance to register external links sent in emails.
