Enabling Location Sharing for My Organization in ArcGIS Enterprise

Question

Hello ESRI community,

I'm currently exploring the functionalities of ArcGIS Enterprise Field Maps for my organization's needs. I'm particularly interested in the location sharing feature for members of my organization. However, I've been told that adding "Mobile Worker" user type to my current license is not possible.

I'm currently using the Educational Academic Departmental Medium Annual Subscription, I'd like to ask if there's a way to enable or work around this limitation. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can offer guidance on how to get the location sharing feature up and running?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you @SamuelCanas ,

there is no ArcGIS Location Sharing in User type extensions. Is it really possible that Educational Academic license doesn't have this possibility?

Thank you @vdamjanov , we can try with something else.

In this article (Enable location sharing—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation) I found that "To enable location sharing, your organization must first purchase ArcGIS Location Sharing licenses. This license is included in the Mobile Worker user type and is available as an add-on for all other user types".

You can try going to your ArcGIS Online Organization>Members

Filter the user type by GIS Professional Advanced

Then Manage add-on licenses

Finally, search for User Type Extensions > add "ArcGIS Location Sharing".

Save the changes and try again,

Let me know if this worked, I hope it does!
