ArcGIS Location Platform account

[ForrestLin]

I follow https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/glossary/arcgis-location-platform-account to create an ArcGIS Location Platform account.

It asks for portal url: https://myagol.maps.arcgis.com.

Do I need an ArcGIS Online account first?

Thanks.

You do not need an ArcGIS Online account. The ArcGIS Location Platform account sets up your own portal under the name you give it in that form.

Does it ask for my own portal url: https://              .maps.arcgis.com?

I don't have portal like https://              .maps.arcgis.com

Thanks.

@ForrestLinAt this point you make up a new portal URL that is unique for your use.

Thanks.

Is it possible to use the Enterprise Portal of my organization?

[John-Foster]

If you are using the Enterprise portal for an existing organization, then you do not need a separate ArcGIS Location Platform account. You should use your existing Enterprise account. The ArcGIS Location Platform is creating a completely new portal for you to manage your items and data.
