Configure browsers for ArcGIS Enterprise

Some workflows may require specific privileges. For more information about user types, roles, and privileges, see the Accounts topic.

You can configure browsers for ArcGIS Enterprise when using ArcGIS for Power BI.

Depending on your Enterprise environment, you may need to perform additional configuration steps to set up ArcGIS for Power BI on ArcGIS Enterprise.

When you use ArcGIS for Power BI with Microsoft Edge on ArcGIS Enterprise, if multiple domains across security zones are involved in the authentication, the authentication cannot finish successfully. To avoid this, ensure that the application domain and any other sites involved in the authentication workflow are added as trusted sites in the browser's security settings.

For example, if you connect to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal hosted at https://myportal.xyz.com, the portal may use resources hosted at https://abc.xyz.com. During authentication, the portal will redirect from https://myportal.xyz.com to https://abc.xyz.com to https://lacdn.arcgis.com. You must add each URL in use to your trusted sites configuration to ensure a seamless workflow.

To configure a browser for ArcGIS Enterprise, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a browser and open the Internet options settings page.

    From the Windows Control Panel, click Network and Sharing Center and click Internet options.
