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 generateToken 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 refreshMembership operation iterates over every enterprise account configured in an organization and determines if there are any change in memberships. If any changes are detected, the database and the indexes are updated for each group.

While ArcGIS Enterprise automatically refreshes the memberships during a user login and during a periodic refresh configured through the Update Identity Store operation, this operation allows an administrator to force a refresh.
