Signing in and Gaining Elevated Access to a Community Site

Signing in

Signing into an Community’s ArcGIS Hub site is possible with only a GeoPlatform Communities ArcGIS Online (AGOL) organization account. This is a separate account that uses a different organization than the GeoPlatform AGOL. If you do not have one, see the section below on gaining access below.

1. Navigate to the Hub site’s admin dashboard

   • Append /edit to your Hub site’s URL (ie https://your-hub-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/edit)

2. Select the Sign In button

3. A sign in dialog will open. Select Sign in to your account on ArcGIS Online
   

4. Select Your ArcGIS organization’s URL
   

5. Input gp-communities into the dialog box

   • Optional: Select Remember this URL checkbox

   

6. Select the GeoPlatform Login.gov Account option
