Best Practices for administering ArcGIS in Education - GeriMiller1/ago-admin-education GitHub Wiki

General Guidelines:

• Implement enterprise logins (SSO)
• Provision licensing for everyone in the organization (rather than for a group/role)
• Enable Esri Access for everyone
• Set any credit limits high enough that you do not have to worry about managing the limit for individual users
• Ensure you have enough named users and licenses to satisfy demand
• Implement LMS integration
• Consider using a single ArcGIS Online organization for your institution, multiple ones mean more management
• Avoid manual steps or workflows involving gate-keepers

Do Not Ask yourself:

• Is this person eligible for an ArcGIS account?
• Do they need an ArcGIS Pro license?
• Should I disable student accounts when they graduate?
• To what role should I assign this person?
• To what group should I assign this person to?

Instead, Ask:

• Who handles authentication and authorization on campus?
• Who runs your student information system? ...learning management system? ... financial systems? ...human resource system?
• Collaborate with them!
