The features and functions available in ArcGIS Hub 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 ArcGIS Hub with the following roles: Administrator, Community administrator, and Publisher (default) along with ArcGIS Online groups to collaborate. Learn more about how to Use groups.
Note:
All roles to create and manage content in the ArcGIS Hub employee organization require the Creator user type. All roles to create and manage content in the ArcGIS Hub Premium community organization require the Hub Community Member user type or the Creator user type. Learn more about User types, role, and privileges for the community organization.
Administrator
An administrator in Hub 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 primary ArcGIS Online organization (employee organization) used by internal staff to create and manage content with Hub.
The ArcGIS Online administrator can assign the default administrator role to other members. The Administrator can also create a custom role based on the Publisher role with select administrative privileges, such as view all members, invite new members, create categories, change member roles, and manage security access for configuring enterprise logins.
Note:
If your organization has a license to ArcGIS Hub Premium, an administrator must also have a community administrator account to access community accounts and content.
Administrator (community organization)
Activating an ArcGIS Hub Premium subscription creates a community organization and a user with an administrator role (once changed from the default Publisher role). This Community administrator is basically the default Administrator role that is part of any ArcGIS Online organization. The Community administrator has full administrative access to the community organization, such as the authority to invite and remove members and create, update, and delete community content.
The community organization has its own subscription to ArcGIS Online, so the community administrator must use a separate set of login credentials (unique to the community organization). A community administrator can assign additional members to the role.
Assign roles and create custom roles
ArcGIS Online administrators can configure roles and privileges for members of the ArcGIS Online employee 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. Learn how to configure member roles.
Assign a default or custom role
To assign a default role or configure a custom role for a member of the employee organization or the community organization, ensure that you have the appropriate administrative privileges for the correct organization.
To assign a default role, follow the steps under Change member roles.
Note:
To manage roles for community members, you must sign in as administrator of the community organization.
To configure a custom role, follow the steps under Configure member roles.
- Provide a name and description for the role.
- 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 Invite and add members to add the person to the employee organization or follow the steps to invite a member to the community organization.
