What do users in ArcGIS Enterprise typically need to perform their work effectively?

Users in ArcGIS Enterprise typically require access to various roles and appropriate sharing settings to perform their work effectively. Each user may have different needs based on their specific functions within an organization; therefore, being assigned the right role ensures that they have the necessary permissions to access, create, edit, and share geographic information and resources.

Roles determine what users can do within the system, such as viewing maps, creating content, or administrative tasks. Additionally, appropriate sharing settings enable users to collaborate and share content both internally and externally, ensuring that the right audiences can access the data they need while maintaining security and data governance.

High-level administrative permissions are usually reserved for system administrators rather than general users, as such permissions would grant capabilities that are not necessary for everyday tasks. Direct access to the server's main database is typically managed by the database administrators, and while a high-speed internet connection is beneficial for performance, it does not address the specific permission and role-based requirements that enable effective interaction with ArcGIS resources.
