Recently I made a custom role for ArcGIS online, for curricular reasons. However, I am finding that I am unable to assign this as a default role for new users, limiting the utility. Is this an intended limitation or do I perhaps need to clear my cache or some other solution? If it is intended, why? Thanks for any advice. (Also, it is my general feedback that any significant changes to roles or other ArcGIS Online administration tasks should be pushed as a notice to administrators of an organization, rather than buried in newsletters, as I still cannot sort out where a major change from my perspective in roles even last occurred)

Thank you for the detailed explanation, it is very helpful and clears up my confusion!

We have access to latest ArcMap / ArcGIS Pro " If the reference data that is being used to build your own address locator includes a field that contains the city ward values, you can build an address locator that will include the city ward info as an additional field when batch geocoding or geosearching." So we can use a polygon file that just includes ward boundaries in addition to other shapefiles/gdb that includes roads information? Would that be a Composite Geocoder? are you able to mix and match reference data in that way? And if I'm understanding the end result, we can input a street address, check it against the streets and ward data, and then return the ward data as a new field appended to the dataset? " If you have access to ArcGIS Pro 2.3 you can build locators that reference multiple fields in the reference data that can be returned in the geocode result using the Create Locator tool." Do you mean by this that with ArcGIS Pro I could reference say, Wards and Police Precincts polygon data, but with ArcMap I can only do one or the other? Thanks for your response. I misunderstood the documentation to mean that only certain types of datasets could be used (The documentation from Create Locator seemed to imply that only postal codes / postal data could be used as polygon boundaries)

Hello all, I'm interested in creating a script (or model) that would take a table of addresses and geo-code, then append the attribute data of polygon features it is within. Or in other words, let's say we have a list of addresses in a table, and we want to update the table with the city wards it is within. Now I think I'd do it like this if it weren't a model / script: - geocode the addresses - use spatial join to a wards shapefile - update the table with the values from the spatial join I don't think this is the best approach if I am turning this into a script, though. I've been reading through the documentation for address geolocators, and if I'm understanding right, it may be possible to build a custom geolocator using my own shapefiles (wards, etc.) In that case, it would be really convenient to build this into an online service hosted through ArcGIS Online / GIS Server that people could upload say, a CSV of addresses, and then have it returned back to them with the ward information appended. Or, a local script that could be run without too much understanding of ArcMap. I'm wondering if there is any avenue to making such a tool / script that I might be missing, or if I'm on the right track in looking into a custom address geolocator. The documentation does not yet make it clear to me how to use my own custom boundaries when making a custom/composite geolocator. Thank you,

ArcMap and ArcCatalog aren't actually in my workflow, so I wanted to avoid having to boot up desktop applications to manage services. I think Vince might have been referring to using Python within ArcMap to call the REST API, but that made me remember that I don't need a client at all to do this... so I just successfully deleted the folder with all 8 pages with a token and POST... That's a solution that keeps me happy

I'm not sure if your code was going to involve ArcMap / ArcGIS Pro or not. But, mentioning the REST API had me look for the ArcGIS REST API. It seems that Delete Folder and Delete Service (along with many other tasks and requests) are capable of doing through a URL with administrator token, like so: ArcGIS REST API This is probably the answer I am looking for.

‎11-30-2017

So basically you're running that through ArcMap / ArcGIS Pro python interpreter in that case...?

Let's say we've got, you know, 8 pages of services that need to be removed. That's time consuming. Are there ways to programmatically remove services much faster than through the GUI in Manager? (other ways to programmatically / through scripts alter a large number of services would also be of interest, such as starting/stopping/changing pooling or other options) Installation is ArcGIS Server 10.5 on Linux. *Update* This question was posed because the documentation here says only two options (Manager or ArcMap): Delete a service—Documentation | ArcGIS Enterprise However Vince here, reminded me of the ArcGIS Rest API. Among other tasks and features, it does mention how to Delete Service through a POST with an admin token here: ArcGIS REST API So, I consider this question somewhat resolved, though would keep open out of interest to hear other ways people address managing services programmatically in their organization (custom scripts, etc.)

Hello Derek, I figured it out, so I'll share a picture of what I was seeing and why it confused me at first. See the image below: Let's call the services "top" and "bottom" for convenience. I've circled the "pencil" symbols. You'll notice that one of them (the top one) is hollowed out; this is a service that was shared by a student to the GIS Server rather than the portal. You can see by the single person on the righthand side (rather than the "multiple" symbol that it was not actually shared anywhere when published as the student was not connected to the portal. Now, I didn't think to click on the person symbol first, I just noticed that the pencil symbol was hollowed out (on the top service here). This service did not show up in Portal, only in manager/the rest services directory. When I did check on the bottom service I was able to get in to the editing mode as the "pencil" tool was selectable. However, the sharing settings aren't there (in the manager Editing service panel); so I thought this time of clicking on the "person" symbol. This gave me the " The service is owned by another user. The sharing properties can only be modified by the owner." issue that I noted in the first post. This led me to think that you can't adjust sharing properties at all through GIS Server unless you have an administrative account (possibly?). This led me to conclude that my only option was to delete the service and tell the student to re-publish with the correct sharing settings, or to elevate my privileges on the GIS Server (But before doing the latter, I wanted to understand more properly what was going on as disabling administrative control through the web adaptor is desirable). However, what I didn't check at that time was that the bottom service actually *was* shared with Portal. Once I realized that, I went back to the top service and clicked on the sharing button. Once I do so, it says, "This default service has not been configured for sharing with Portal. Click "Update Sharing" to enable this." When I click "Update Sharing", the service is actually shareable with the portal, and I can edit properties. Then, after waiting some time, it gives the same "The service is owned by another user" message. But this doesn't matter as this now appears in Portal and can be edited there. (As mentioned, directly publishing to the GIS Server rather than the Portal is something I'm discouraging because of confusion like this) It does seem strange to me that I can't change items from Manager due to them being "owned" , but since they are now correctly listed on the Portal and changeable there, this seems somewhat of a moot point, and I'm just writing up this explanation in case someone else comes across this conversation and had some similar confusion.

My suspicion is it has to do with the web adaptor not allowing administrative access to the GIS Server so that although I am using a Portal account with administrative priveleges to access the GIS Server, it's neveretheless being "downgraded" to a normal account?
