To access ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 features and interactive functions, you must sign in to an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account that has privileges to create, analyze, and share content.
Guest users
ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 works best with an ArcGIS organizational (ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise) account. You can still use ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 as a guest user, but with limited functionality. When the Sign in to ArcGIS page appears, click Continue as guest.
Organizational users
Depending on how your ArcGIS administrator has configured your organization's security settings, you can sign in using several options. If you don't have an ArcGIS account, you can sign up for a free ArcGIS trial to get started. Public ArcGIS accounts are not supported. See Accounts for more information.
Your sign in experience may vary from what is described in this topic based on your configuration. The ArcGIS sign-in pane may include any of the following options: ArcGIS account or organization login, SAML login, OpenID Connect login, or social media login. For more information about signing in to an ArcGIS account, see the Sign in topic in the ArcGIS Online help.
