Exploring New User Types for ArcGIS and Supporting Resources
Recently, at the 2024 Esri Partner Conference, we shared a brief introduction to the new ArcGIS User Types - a simpler method of understanding and buying ArcGIS. Following that, messaging starting rolling out to customers, Esri partners and distributors.
Effective June 2024, Esri is updating its license model to align with innovations in the ArcGIS platform. This will streamline system deployment through six role-based user types that provide expanded access to ArcGIS capabilities, apps, and services to help your teams collaborate in ArcGIS from anywhere on any device.

NEW, ROLE-BASED USER TYPES
The capabilities of ArcGIS have traditionally been accessed through multiple products, apps, extensions, and add-ons—all with varying levels of licensing, pricing, and entitlements. Effective June 2024, Esri updated the user type license model to six (6) role-based user types that provide expanded access to ArcGIS system capabilities, apps, and services.
Different levels of access ensure your team can use ArcGIS to collaborate efficiently. Start by considering who needs to map, analyze, and manage data. Then, empower users to securely contribute to your ArcGIS organization.
VIEWER - Securely view maps, apps, and dashboards, including content from ArcGIS for Microsoft 365
CONTRIBUTOR - Contributor is a new user type that replaces and expands the capabilities of Editor. This user type allows users to review and edit features in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. Users can now interact with data from ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 and ArcGIS GeoBIM. It also includes everything from Viewer.
MOBILE WORKER - The Mobile Worker user type retains its existing capabilities, including access to field apps, and incorporates all the capabilities of the Contributor user type.
