topic Clarify user esri_access in arcgis api for python in ArcGIS API for Python Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/clarify-user-esri-access-in-arcgis-api-for-python/m-p/794559#M1730 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The api documentation suggest the esri_access function of the user class is a means of enabling/disabling esri access. In v 1.4.1 this is not functioning, perhaps because user.esri_access is defined twice. The first sets an attribute of the user which returns user_type. This appears to take priority over the second which is a function to set the user_type, as noted in the documentation. In addition user.update includes user_type=None in the function but does not include that parameter in the arguments. Can you clarify the future functionality for user.esri_access? And with that, is there a reason the ability to set user_type is not included as a parameter in user.update? Thanks.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 30 May 2018 22:13:59 GMT AdamMesser1 2018-05-30T22:13:59Z Clarify user esri_access in arcgis api for python https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/clarify-user-esri-access-in-arcgis-api-for-python/m-p/794559#M1730 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The api documentation suggest the esri_access function of the user class is a means of enabling/disabling esri access.

To set you designate user.esri_access = True. The <A href="https://esri.github.io/arcgis-python-api/apidoc/html/arcgis.gis.toc.html#arcgis.gis.User.esri_access">documentation</A> provides guidance on this. It would save a step if enabling esri_access was included with user.update.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:45:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/clarify-user-esri-access-in-arcgis-api-for-python/m-p/794560#M1731 AdamMesser1 2019-01-22T17:45:40Z
