If your primary connection uses ArcGIS Online, you can update the connection to use a different ArcGIS Online organization.
Signing in to an ArcGIS organization from Insights desktop requires an internet connection or intranet network.
Complete the following steps to sign in to an ArcGIS organization from Insights desktop:
- Start Insights desktop.
- Click the Sign in button at the top of the application.
- Under ArcGIS login, provide the username and password for your primary connection.
Both your username and password are case sensitive.

Sign out

When you are signed out of Insights in ArcGIS Online or Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise, you can still see some Insights content provided you can access the item outside of the Insights home page (for example, a direct link to a publicly shared report). You will be prompted to sign back in to your account if you return to the Insights sign in page or attempt to access an item that is only available in Insights or is not shared publicly.
When you are signed out of Insights desktop, you will still be able to use Insights, but you will not have access to capabilities that require an ArcGIS connection (for example, publishing items or using Enrich Data).
Note:
If you are using Insights desktop and sign out of a connection that uses web-tier authentication (IWA, PKI, or LDAP), you will automatically be signed out of all connections with web-tier authentication.
