Licensing requirements for spatial analysis

The administrator of your organization needs to 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 standard feature analysis.

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

  • Creator or GIS Professional user type
  • Publisher or Administrator role, or an equivalent custom role

Raster analysis tools require the user to be granted imagery analysis privileges and the enterprise be configured for raster analysis.

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

Custom web tools

Custom web tools require the same user type and privileges as spatial analysis.

Custom web tools published from ArcGIS Notebooks also require the Run web tools privilege and any privileges required to run the individual tools within the notebook. The Run web tools privilege is included in the Administrator role.

Note:

Custom web tools created in Notebooks are hosted as tool items.
