A common issue with large ArcGIS enterprise organizations, especially higher ed, are users who have locked themselves out of ArcGIS Pro. This most often happens when users who checkout offline licenses for use in the field (or because they routinely work without an internet connection). If the users computer or HD dies and is replaced by the university, the user is then unable to license a new installation of ArcGIS Pro until the old offline user status is rest. This could be as simple as the user contacting their site admin and having them verify the status of the old machine then toggle a license reset for the user as appropriate. Instead it currently requires an Esri ticket that can take several days and many redundant back and forth email exchanges to complete. In the latest example from my org it took 3 days, 7 email exchanges, and 735 typed words to complete a license reset. Most of that time was spent reiterating the information that was posted to the original ticket (user name, email, reason for reset, org info). On top of that, Esri requires the user or admin to "sign" a permission statement that reads like an amateur legal contract and is essentially redundant to the licensing agreement the org already has in place with Esri. Please make resetting offline user licenses an admin operation. ... View more

We do, but that's not where the missing data is as far as I can tell. Our recycle bin permanently deletes after 14 days and these accounts have been in active for over 10 years! So something else is going on. I suspect it's that there are "files" embedded directly in some of the web apps that these accounts own, but I can't verify that. ... View more

I want to add that the big issues here are that 1) as an admin I should be able to easily override user settings if needed, esp for decade old accounts (user should not be be able to block admin control) and 2) even without that, the bulk delete function should be able to complete the delete for all selected accounts that do not have delete protection and just ignore those that do. That way I can at least whittle down to the the accounts the need manual remediation instead of it dropping the whole task. ... View more

I'll take a look at this, thank you. But in my opinion an org admin should not have to resort to custom python scripts to do these simple maintenance tasks. This should be a dashboard operation. ... View more

As an admin of a org with very high turn over (academic University) and over 4700 members (MANY of them inactive for several years), there needs to be a way to quickly clear out old accounts. If the account is inactive and over our stated grace period for content migration we need to be able to easily remove the old accounts and data - without having to resort to bespoke python scripts. This should be built in. FYI I'm currently looking at clearing accounts that are over 10 years old! It should not be this hard to remove them. ... View more

  I want the analysis approach of the first image (OD Cost Matrix, each Origin has many Destinations, radial networks) with the line visualizations from the second image (true along the network routes as line features). I know OD Cost Matrix calculates along the real route, but we also need to show those routes, not just the simplified lines. ... View more

Thanks Max. I think you are correct. I'll have to go back and look at the current version of Field Maps to see if this has been addressed, but it's unlikely. Esri moves at a glacial pace with these kinds of feature updates. ... View more

Adding my comment here rather than start a new thread. YES! Groups need a bulk add option and I'm surprised (although I shouldn't be at this point) that this is not already an admin feature for managing AGO Groups. This is an obvious use case, which I suppose is exactly why it got left off the tools feature list! Currently have a sub admin who needs to add his user base of 1000 members to a specific AGO Group. Currently he has no option but to add thena ll 1 at a time. ... View more
