Hi Stuart,

Can you try the following? It is documented here in the API guide.

from arcgis.gis import GIS gis = GIS("home") source_users = gis.users.search(query="username:xxx") for user in source_users: print(user.username, user.userLicenseTypeId) user.update_license_type("fieldWorkerUT") print(user.username, user.userLicenseTypeId)

Note that for the update to be successful, the user must have a compatable role.

Best,

Hamish

Hey Stuart - you need to use the update_license_type method - example here: https://community.esri.com/t5/education-blog/creator-to-gis-professional-advanced-user-type-for-education/bc-p/885272/highlight/true#M480

Hi,

this is not working for me. The very simple piece of code I am using is:

# _user = p_gis.users.get(username='U19452')
_listUsers = gis.users.search(query='username:{}'.format('U19452'))
for _user in _listUsers:
    print(_user.username, _user.userLicenseTypeId)
    _user.update_license_type("fieldWorkerUT")
    print(_user.username, _user.userLicenseTypeId)

and this is the result:

U19452 creatorUT
U19452 creatorUT

What am I missing?, because it seems quite straightforward.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi, i think i had a similar issue if the user was the owner of content it wouldn't change the licence, maybe try changing their account manually to see if you get an error

Hi Stuart,

you are right. I a user owns any content then you cannot change his type. I think a least you should receive any kind of message informing about this, but the sentence finishes ok.

Thank you very much!!!
