As an administrator, you can customize ArcGIS Enterprise to meet requirements and fit the look and feel of your organization. Many of these configuration options are supported through the portal.
You can configure your organization to meet requirements in regards to the following:
- ArcGIS Server sites that run on Windows or Linux machines
- Security settings
- The services that are used for printing, geocoding, geometric calculations, routing, and more
- The use of comments on items
- The default language and number and date format
- Item classification schemas
You can also customize the look and feel of your organization. For example, you can do the following:
- Add a logo and banner
- Feature your organization's content on the home page
- Highlight specific content in the gallery
- Customize basemaps in Map Viewer
In many cases, you will use site configuration groups to manage custom content, such as template and basemap galleries. For more information, see Site configuration groups.
Set advanced organization options
You can customize organization behavior through the ArcGIS Portal Directory (Sharing API). Properties you can set include whether certain apps and customizations are shown on the website, for example, links to the Scene Viewer app or custom links displayed on all page footers. You may want to do this if you're configuring a disconnected environment or modifying the portal's behavior to match the requirements of your organization.
Follow the steps below to set advanced organization options:
- Sign in to the ArcGIS Portal Directory as a member of the default administrator role in your portal or a member of a custom role with the security and infrastructure privilege enabled. The URL is in the format https://organization.example.com/arcgis/sharing/rest.
- Click Home > Portals > Self.
- Click the Organization Settings link in the Child Resources list and scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Click Update in the Supported Operations list.
- On the Portal Configuration Properties dialog box, replace the existing property values with your organization's values.
- Click Update to apply the changes.
To learn more about the properties you can modify, see the Sharing API documentation.
