Add mission members and teams

ArcGIS Mission members are participants in a mission who can collaborate with each other directly or by groups, also referred to as teams. Any portal user can be added as a member to the mission, but they must be properly licensed for the app.

The following describes the main differences between portal users, mission members, and mission teams:

  • Portal users—Authorized users in Portal for ArcGIS that are not yet assigned to the specific mission. Portal users can be assigned to any number of missions but can only view or participate in missions they have been assigned to as a mission member.
  • Mission members—Portal users who are assigned to a mission. By default, the mission owner is the first member in the mission. A mission member can be involved in the mission using ArcGIS Mission Manager and Responder. Mission members who are not assigned to a mission team can still participate in the mission.
  • Team members—Mission members who are assigned to a particular group in the mission.

Members

There are two lists on the Members tab: Portal Users and Mission Members. Mission owners or administrators can add or remove portal users from the mission. If a portal user is added to the mission, they become a mission member. If they are removed from the mission, they return to being a portal user.

Both lists can be searched and filtered using the search bar. Members who are not the mission owner or administrator have view-only access to the Members tab.

Set or remove a mission member as a mission lead

As a mission owner, you can designate other members as mission leads to have similar capabilities as a mission owner. Designating members as mission leads is not required for a mission and there is no maximum. When a member is designated as a mission lead, they can do the following:

  • Add and remove members from a mission.
  • Cache and restore an activity in the Messages, Tasks, and Reports feeds.

To become a mission lead, the member must have the privileges of a Publisher role or above. When a portal user is added to the Mission Members list, ArcGIS Mission checks whether the mission member has the correct privileges to become a mission lead. An icon appears next to the name of mission members if they are eligible to be mission leads.

To designate a mission member as a mission lead, complete the following steps:

  1. Click View Missions.
  2. Click Mission Details for the mission.
  3. Click the Members tab and view your members list.
  4. Click the Set as Mission Lead button to set a member as a mission lead.

    A dialog box prompts you to confirm that you want to set the member as a mission lead.

  5. Click Confirm.

    A notification appears when the change is successful and the mission lead icon changes to an active state.

To remove a mission member as a mission lead, complete the following steps:

  5. Click Confirm.

    A notification appears when the change is successful and the mission lead icon changes to an inactive state.

Teams

Mission teams are designed as an organizational tool, allowing information to be sent to specific members or teams rather than the entire mission. A mission team is created based on organizational needs. Once mission members are assigned to a mission, they can be added to teams. A mission can include any number of mission teams, and mission members can belong to more than one team. Members who are not the mission owner or administrator have view-only access to the Teams tab.
