Administrating your organization

Administering an ArcGIS Enterprise organization involves a variety of tasks to ensure the organization provides users with the capabilities they need. Effective administration requires a collaboration between GIS and IT administrators to perform all of the following:

• Configure the organization to control how users interact with content items, services, and the organization itself.

• Secure the organization by managing user access and configuring security settings.

• Observe the organization to maintain awareness of how it is operating and gather information help to resolve any issues.

• Manage the ArcGIS Server sites that are federated with ArcGIS Enterprise, the services published to those sites, and the associated service data.

• Manage content items and collaborations with other organizations to ensure users can discover and access the right content.

• Create a backup and restore strategy to ensure the organization can be recovered in the event of a disaster.

• Automating workflows through a combination of using command line utilities, making requests to the REST API, writing Python scripts, creating event-driven webhooks, and extending services.
