Licensing requirements for spatial analysis

The organization administrator must grant you the required privileges to perform analysis. You must have the privileges to create, update, and delete content; publish hosted feature layers; and perform spatial analysis.

The required privileges for feature analysis are available through the following user types and roles:

  • Creator, Professional, or Professional Plus user type

  • Publisher, Facilitator, or Administrator role, or an equivalent custom role

Raster analysis tools and raster functions require a Professional or Professional Plus user type and the Imagery Analysis privilege. To run raster analysis, your ArcGIS Online organization must have at least one feature layer and one imagery layer published.

Additional privileges may be required for some tools. The tables below summarize the licensing requirements for all tools.
