The ArcGISPortal class is part of the Portal API which provides a way to build applications that work with content from ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Portal. ArcGIS Portal is software technology from Esri that customers can deploy either on premise or in the cloud. ArcGIS Online is Esri's Software as a Service offering that represents GIS as a Service and is implemented using the same technology as ArcGIS Portal. The Portal API allows application developers to work with users, groups and content hosted within ArcGIS Online or within an ArcGIS Portal. The API allows developers to build web, mobile, and desktop applications that support sharing and collaboration using web maps. Organizational developers can also use the API to build custom applications for their users. The ArcGISPortal class provides the connection information to the portal (Url, Token, ClientAppType, CultureInfo, ProxyUrl). Once initialized by calling
InitializeAsync,
ArcGISPortalInfo,
CurrentUser and
CurrentVersion are available and provide information about the portal and the current user.
