Administering hosted services

You can adjust settings affecting who can view your service. You can also edit the service description, tags, and thumbnail image. Finally, you can delete your service if needed.

All these actions are available from the My Content page in the portal website. Log in to the website, click My Content, and examine the resulting table of all the maps, apps, and services you've added.

Choosing who can use your service

By default, all services you publish are initially visible to you only. To adjust who can use your service, click the service in the My Content page and click Share. You can choose to share with all users within your organization, or with certain groups that you've created.

If you choose not to share with everyone, then users who want to view your service must be logged in to the portal website.

Editing service details

You can edit the title, summary, description, thumbnail image, tags, extent, and credits associated with your service. In the My Content page, click your service, then click Edit. These settings can help users browse, find, and understand your service before using it. When you are finished making changes, remember to click Save.

Deleting a service

To delete a service, click the service name in the My Content page, then click Delete. This deletes your service and all its corresponding tiles (although the tiles may take a few hours to go away). If you want to delete the service definition, you must explicitly do so as a separate action.
