Install and manage ArcGIS for SharePoint

ArcGIS for SharePoint is an app in Microsoft SharePoint. You must be a  Microsoft administrator to install and configure it. There are many ways a  SharePoint organization can be administered, and your installation experience may differ from the procedures outlined here. Contact your  Microsoft administrator for details about your organization or refer to the Microsoft SharePoint documentation.

For more information about installing ArcGIS for SharePoint, see the Esri Community Installing and Configuring ArcGIS for SharePoint video.

Tip:

See the Deploy add-ins in the Microsoft 365 admin center Microsoft help topic for more information about enterprise scale add-in and app deployments.

Supported environments

Esri tests Microsoft 365 only in software environments certified as supported by Microsoft; not all supported environments have been tested or certified. For more information, see the Esri Supported Environment Policy.

System requirements

Review the following sections to understand the required software, ArcGIS versions, supported browsers, and geographic coordinate systems.

Required software and access

The following software requirements are necessary to use ArcGIS for SharePoint:

• Microsoft 365 business essentials
• SharePoint Online Plan 1
• Microsoft supports GCC standard environments only to access Microsoft and SharePoint stores to install the app.
• Optionally, to set up custom connection strings upon sign in, the Microsoft administrator has to approve the Graph API permission.
• To use the EXIF data extraction tool with the Power Automate flow, the Microsoft administrator must approve two API services: the Flows API service and the PowerApps Service. The Flows API service detects the SharePoint user's Power Automate environment and the user's Power Automate license to ensure the presence of a premium license and to manage and update flows. The PowerApps Service reads the Power Automate connections.

Note:

See the SharePoint service description.

ArcGIS for SharePoint  supports the following ArcGIS versions:

WebGL requirements

The latest versions of the most common desktop browsers have built-in WebGL technology. Use Open WebGL to test whether your browser has WebGL enabled.

You must be a Microsoft administrator to install and configure ArcGIS for SharePoint and synchronize it with Microsoft Teams.

If you didn't add ArcGIS for SharePoint to Microsoft Teams during installation, you can still synchronize the two applications.

Add ArcGIS for SharePoint to a Microsoft Teams channel

Administrators can add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to an individual Microsoft Teams channel.

When you create a team in Microsoft Teams, a site collection is created in SharePoint with the same name as the team. Each channel created for that team becomes a folder in SharePoint that is part of its document library.

When you add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to a Microsoft Teams channel, users of the channel can use ArcGIS mapping, geotagging, and geosearching capabilities in both Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

To add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app to a team for use in Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, complete the following steps:

1. In the Microsoft Teams app, create a team.
2. Add the ArcGIS for SharePoint app:
   1. From Microsoft Teams, click the Add button to add a new tab to the team's folder.

      The Add a tab pane appears, showing all available applications that can be added to the channel.

   2. Click ArcGIS for SharePoint from the available applications.

      The ArcGIS interface appears, and ArcGIS for SharePoint becomes one of the menu options for the channel.

   You are prompted to sign in to your ArcGIS account.

   Tip:

   If you sign in to your ArcGIS account, check the Keep me signed in check box to remain signed in to your ArcGIS account when switching between tabs. Otherwise, you will be prompted to sign in to ArcGIS on each tab in the channel.

   You can now perform all standard mapping, geotagging, and geosearching capabilities in  ArcGIS for SharePoint from Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

   From the ArcGIS for SharePoint menu, you can manage the map controls while the map is in edit mode.

   Caution:

   Dynamic data is available only to users of Microsoft SharePoint. It is not available in Microsoft Teams.
