With the December 2018 <\/span>update of ArcGIS Online, Named User levels were transformed into User Types that expand access to functionality in a way that corresponds to the needs of different users in an organization. This change was requested by users through the ArcGIS Ideas section of GeoNet.<\/p>\r\n New User Types give organizations more granular control over the deployment of GIS tools. User Types let staff members get the capabilities and apps they need to do their work, and organizations have a cost-effective way to manage user accounts.<\/p>\r\n Although User Types redefine access to apps, administrators can still give members in their organizations access to supplementary apps and further refine specific users\u2019 roles. This allows organizations to fine-tune access to apps based on user needs. Administrators can still assign custom roles to specific users or groups of users by refining their permissions.<\/p>\r\n If you were a Level 2 user, you will become a Creator User. If you were a Level 1 user, you will become a Viewer User. However, you also have three additional User Type options: Field Worker, Editor, and GIS Professional.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":207532,"image_position":"left","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" If you are a GIS specialist, asset manager, or data journalist, and you create maps and apps, perform spatial analyses, and share the results with colleagues and clients via ready-to-use apps, Creator is your User Type.
