Hello,

Just a couple usability issues that I noticed with ArcGIS Pro.

Editing:  How can I turn editing off by default across an organization?  I want to KNOW if I am viewing data.

Basemaps:  It was not clear enough how we can create our own basemap, or use a basemap from our own ArcGIS server.  Can we configure basemaps across an organization?

Limiting use of ArcGIS Online Credits when using "Analysis":  I am not clear as to which tools are "part of ArcGIS Desktop / Pro" vs "ArcGIS Online Tools" that could cost money to use...  Could you make this distinction more clear?  Can we disable AGOL tools across our organization?

PS.  Will pro allow us to drag and drop layers from ArcGIS Catalog ( or equivalent) into pro?

Thanks!

We ran across this aged idea and wanted to provide some updates:

Editing:  How can I turn editing off by default across an organization?  I want to KNOW if I am viewing data.

The ability to enable the Enable/Disable editing button was implemented many releases ago: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/enable-and-disable-editing.htm More recently, we made it possible for an admin to deploy this setting (and lock it if desired) across an organization using the admin settings: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/application-setting-management.htm 

Basemaps:  It was not clear enough how we can create our own basemap, or use a basemap from our own ArcGIS server.  Can we configure basemaps across an organization?

More here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/map-authoring/author-a-basemap.htm Note that the gallery can be customized in the ArcGIS Organization and signed in users will get that gallery in Pro.

Limiting use of ArcGIS Online Credits when using "Analysis":  I am not clear as to which tools are "part of ArcGIS Desktop / Pro" vs "ArcGIS Online Tools" that could cost money to use...  Could you make this distinction more clear?  Can we disable AGOL tools across our organization?

Many improvements have been made to credit estimation and messaging in ArcGIS Pro since this idea was posted. To use tools that consume credits, a user would need to be signed in to an organization. It is in that organization where you can control what analysis privileges a user has (e.g. let them geocode, but not use Network Analysis services) and/or use credit budgeting to control consumption. More on that here:

Thank you
