Privileges | Documentation

In ArcGIS Location Platform, privileges are a set of strings used to manage access to secure resources in ArcGIS. They are assigned to two types of entities:

ArcGIS accounts used by ArcGIS users.
Access tokens used by applications.

Privileges for accounts

All ArcGIS accounts have a list of privileges associated with them that determine the services, content, and operations the user is authorized to access.

ArcGIS Location Platform accounts have a predefined list of privileges assigned when your Location Platform account is created. For a full list, go to List of privileges > ArcGIS Location Platform.

Privileges for access tokens

Access tokens have privileges associated with them that determine the services, content, and operations they are authorized to access. These access tokens are used by applications to access ArcGIS resources and perform operations using ArcGIS services.

The type of authentication used to obtain an access token determines how its privileges are managed. Generally, token privileges are managed through developer credentials, which allow for the setting of specific privileges as well as item access. In user authentication, access token privileges are not assigned manually, and are rather inherited from the privileges of the signed-in ArcGIS account.

Access tokens with specific privileges are supported in ArcGIS Location Platform, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise. They are created using Developer credentials configured for API key authentication or App authentication.

Type of authentication	Type of developer credential	Privilege management
API key authentication	API key credentials	Privileges are assigned using developer credentials.
App authentication	OAuth 2.0 credentials (For app authentication)	Privileges are assigned using developer credentials.
User authentication	OAuth 2.0 credentials (For user authentication)	Privileges are inherited from the signed-in ArcGIS account.

The exact list of privileges associated with a token can be obtained using a /self request.
