WebContextURL-If you are using a reverse proxy, set this property to reverse proxy URL.

reindex(mode='FULL', includes=None)¶

This operation allows you to generate or update the indexes for content; such as users, groups, and items stored in the database (store). During the process of upgrading an earlier version of Portal for ArcGIS, you are required to update the indexes by running this operation. You can check the status of your indexes using the status resource.

Argument	Description
mode	Optional string. The mode in which the indexer should run. Values USER_MODE \| GROUP_MODE \| SEARCH_MODE \| FULL
includes	Optional string. An optional comma separated list of elements to include in the index. This is useful if you want to only index certain items or user accounts.

import_entitlements(file, application)¶

This operation allows you to import entitlements for ArcGIS Pro and additional products such as Navigator for ArcGIS into your licensing portal. Once the entitlements have been imported, you can assign licenses to users within your portal. The operation requires an entitlements file that has been exported out of your ArcGIS License Server Administrator or out of My Esri, depending on the product. A typical entitlements file will have multiple parts, each representing a set of entitlements that are effective at a specific date. The parts that are effective immediately will be configured to be the current entitlements. Other parts will be added to a queue. The portal framework will automatically apply the parts when they become effective. You can use the Get Entitlements operation to see the parts that are in the queue. Each time this operation is invoked, it overwrites all existing entitlements, even the ones that are in the queue.

Argument	Description
file	Required string. The entitlement file to load into Enterprise.
application	Required string. The application identifier to be imported

Returns: dict

release_license(username)¶: If a user checks out an ArcGIS Pro license for offline or disconnected use, this operation releases the license for the specified account. A license can only be used with a single device running ArcGIS Pro. To check in the license, a valid access token and refresh token is required. If the refresh token for the device is lost, damaged, corrupted, or formatted, the user will not be able to check in the license. This prevents the user from logging in to ArcGIS Pro from any other device. As an administrator, you can release the license. This frees the outstanding license and allows the user to check out a new license or use ArcGIS Pro in a connected environment.

remove_all(application)¶: This operation removes all entitlements from the portal for ArcGIS Pro or additional products such as Navigator for ArcGIS and revokes all entitlements assigned to users for the specified product. The portal is no longer a licensing portal for that product. License assignments are retained on disk. Therefore, if you decide to configure this portal as a licensing portal for the product again in the future, all licensing assignments will be available in the website.

remove_entitlement(app='arcgisprodesktop')¶

deletes an entitlement from a site

Argument	Description
app	Required string. The application lookup. Allowed values: appstudioweb,arcgisprodesktop,busanalystonline_2, drone2map,geoplanner,arcgisInsights,LRReporter, navigator, or RoadwayReporter

Returns: dict

update_license_manager(info)¶

ArcGIS License Server Administrator works with your portal and enforces licenses for ArcGIS Pro. This operation allows you to change the license server connection information for your portal. When you import entitlements into portal using the Import Entitlements operation, a license server is automatically configured for you. If your license server changes after the entitlements have been imported, you only need to change the license server connection information. You can register a backup license manager for high availability of your licensing portal. When configuring a backup license manager, you need to make sure that the backup license manager has been authorized with the same organizational entitlements. After configuring the backup license manager, Portal for ArcGIS is restarted automatically. When the restart completes, the portal is configured with the backup license server you specified.

Argument	Description
info	Required string. The JSON representation of the license server connection information.

Returns: dict

Directory¶

class arcgis.gis.admin.Directory(url, gis=None, **kwargs)¶

A directory is a file system-based folder that contains a specific type of content for the portal. The physicalPath property of a directory locates the actual path of the folder on the file system. Beginning at 10.2.1, Portal for ArcGIS supports local directories and network shares as valid locations. During the Portal for ArcGIS installation, the setup program asks you for the root portal directory (that will contain all the portal’s sub directories). However, you can change each registered directory through this API.

property properties¶: The properties operation on a directory can be used to change the physical path and description properties of the directory. This is useful when changing the location of a directory from a local path to a network share. However, the API does not copy your content and data from the old path to the new path. This has to be done independently by the system administrator.

WebAdaptor¶

class arcgis.gis.admin.WebAdaptor(url, gis=None, **kwargs)¶

The ArcGIS Web Adaptor is a web application that runs in a front-end web server. One of the Web Adaptor’s primary responsibilities is to forward HTTP requests from end users to Portal for ArcGIS. The Web Adaptor acts a reverse proxy, providing the end users with an entry point to the system, hiding the back-end servers, and providing some degree of immunity from back-end failures. The front-end web server can authenticate incoming requests against your enterprise identity stores and provide specific authentication schemes such as Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA), HTTP Basic, or Digest. Most importantly, a Web Adaptor provides your end users with a well defined entry point to your system without exposing the internal details of your portal. Portal for ArcGIS will trust requests being forwarded by the Web Adaptor and will not challenge the user for any credentials. However, the authorization of the request (by looking up roles and permissions) is still enforced by the portal’s sharing rules.

unregister()¶: You can use this operation to unregister the ArcGIS Web Adaptor from your portal. Once a Web Adaptor has been unregistered, your portal will no longer trust the Web Adaptor and will not accept any credentials from it. This operation is typically used when you want to register a new Web Adaptor or when your old Web Adaptor needs to be updated.

WebAdaptors¶

class arcgis.gis.admin.WebAdaptors(url, gis=None, **kwargs)¶

The Web Adaptors resource lists the ArcGIS Web Adaptor configured with your portal. You can configure the Web Adaptor by using its configuration web page or the command line utility provided with the installation.

property configuration¶: Gets/Sets the common properties and configuration of the ArcGIS Web Adaptor configured with the portal.

list()¶

Returns all instances of WebAdaptors

USAGE: Get all Web Adaptors and list keys,values of first Web Adaptor object

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://yourportal.com/portal", "portaladmin", "password")

# Return a List of Web Adaptor objects
webadaptors = gis.admin.system.web_adaptors.list()

# Get the first Web Adaptor object and print out each of its values
for key, value in dict(webadaptors[0]).items():
    print("{} : {}".format(key, value))

# Output
