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 update operation allows an administrator to enable or disable external content discovery from the portal website.
Because some Esri-provided content requires external access to the internet, an administrator may choose to disable the content to prevent requests to ArcGIS Online resources. When disabling the content, a select group of items will be disabled:
- All basemaps owned by
"esri_[lang]" - All content owned by
"esri_nav" - All content owned by
"esri"
For steps on how to disable ArcGIS Online utility services or ArcGIS Living Atlas content, see the Configure utility services and Configure Living Atlas resources in the Portal Administration guide.
When external content is disabled, System Languages are also disabled.
