Access requirements
Required privileges
The Portal Administrator API requires privilege-based access. An administrator must be assigned a specific user privilege, or role, to access any given endpoint. Listed below are the user privileges or roles an administrator can be assigned that provides access to this endpoint. If multiple privileges are listed, only one needs to be assigned to gain access.
Tokens
This API requires token-based authentication. A token is automatically generated for administrators who sign in to the Portal Administrator API directory's HTML interface. Tokens generated in this way are stored for the entirety of the session.
Those accessing the API directory outside of the HTML interface will need to acquire a session token from the generate operation in the Portal Directory API. For security reasons, all POST requests made to the Portal Administrator API must include a token in the request body.
Description
The resource for an individual directory returns the properties of a directory. A directory is a file system-based folder that contains a specific type of content for the portal. The physical property of a directory locates the actual path of the folder on the file system. Portal for ArcGIS supports local directories and network shares as valid locations.
During the Portal for ArcGIS installation, the setup program asks you for the root portal directory (that will contain all the portal's sub directories). However, you can change each registered directory through this API.
