Privileges are granted to members through roles. Privileges allow role members to perform various tasks and workflows in an organization. For example, some members have privileges to create and publish content, while others have privileges to view content but cannot create their own.
Default roles include a specific set of privileges that cannot be altered. When the organization administrator creates custom roles, the administrator specifies which privileges the custom role includes.
There are two levels of privileges: General privileges and Administrative privileges.
General privileges
Members who perform specific tasks in the organization—create maps or edit features, for example—can be assigned the general privileges they need to work and share with groups, content, and features.
The following table lists privileges, grouped by privilege type, and provides a description of each privilege. The table also lists which default roles include the privilege.
General privileges | Default roles that include the privilege | |

Groups | Create, update, and delete This privilege allows members to create groups in the portal and control the groups they own. | User, Publisher, Administrator |
Join organizational groups Members of roles that are granted this privilege can be added to organizational groups or request to join groups in the organization. Members can only request to join organizational groups if you also grant the role the View groups shared with portal privilege. If the role does not have the privilege, members do not see the groups and, therefore, cannot request to join them. | All default roles Note:Only members of the User, Publisher, and Administrator default roles can join shared update groups. | |
