Managing user roles

Each member of an organization can have a user, publisher, or administrator role:

• Users have privileges to add items, create web maps, share content, and participate in groups. In addition, users see a customized view of the site, for example, a gallery of the organization's featured content and the organization's logo on the web pages. Users can only work with items they have created; they cannot modify or delete other users' content.
• Publishers have user privileges, plus the ability to publish and host services from feature or tiled map data. Publishers can only work with items and services that they have created; they cannot modify or delete other publishers' content.
• Administrators have user and publisher privileges, plus additional capabilities to manage the organization and other users. An organization must have at least one administrator. However, there are no limits on how many roles can be assigned within an organization. For example, if an organization has five members, all five members can be administrators.

As an administrator, you assign roles when you add members. For more information, see Adding members. You can also change the role of a current member by following the steps below:

Steps:

1. Log in to the portal website as an administrator and click the My Organization link on the top menu. Your organization page opens.
2. Click the Role drop-down arrow in the row of the member whose role you want to change.
3. Choose the new role.
