Assigning ArcGIS Pro licenses in ArcGIS Online involves setting the appropriate user type for a member and then assigning the ArcGIS Pro license, often as an add-on.
To assign ArcGIS Pro licenses within your ArcGIS Online organization, administrators or members with license management privileges follow these key steps:
Understanding Prerequisites
Before assigning an ArcGIS Pro license, the member must have a compatible user type. As stated in the reference, you must set the member's user type to Creator, Professional, or Professional Plus. These user types are designed for users who create, analyze, and manage geographic data and maps using software like ArcGIS Pro.
Assigning the License
Once the member has a suitable user type, you can proceed with assigning the ArcGIS Pro license. The method slightly differs depending on the user type:
- Access Member Settings: Log in to your ArcGIS Online organization and navigate to the Organization tab, then click on Members.
- Select Member: Find the member you wish to license and click on their name to open their profile or settings.
- Manage Licenses: Within the member's settings, look for options related to managing licenses or products. Here you will see assignable licenses available to your organization.
- Assign ArcGIS Pro:
- If the member has the Creator user type, you will need to assign an add-on ArcGIS Pro license to a member with the Creator user type. Locate the ArcGIS Pro license and toggle it on or click assign.
- If the member has the Professional or Professional Plus user type, the ArcGIS Pro license is typically included with their user type entitlement. Ensure the user type is correctly set.
Key Points for License Management
- License Availability: Ensure your organization has available ArcGIS Pro licenses before attempting to assign them. You can check license availability in the Organization settings under Licenses.
- User Type and Capabilities: Different user types come with varying capabilities and included applications. Creator, Professional, and Professional Plus user types are required for ArcGIS Pro as they provide the necessary foundational capabilities.
- Add-on Licenses: For the Creator user type, ArcGIS Pro is specifically assigned as an add-on. This is an important distinction compared to user types where ArcGIS Pro might be directly bundled.
By following these steps, you can effectively assign ArcGIS Pro licenses to your members in ArcGIS Online, enabling them to use the powerful desktop GIS application.
