About the Storyteller user type

Tell remarkable stories with custom maps that inform and inspire. With the Storyteller user type license, you can create express maps or build stories with content from your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization. Marketers, communications coordinators, journalists, and public relations managers are likely to find the Storyteller user type a good match for their job responsibilities. The Storyteller is a dependent user type, which means it must be purchased with at least one foundational user type (GIS Professional or Creator) or added to an existing organization.
