When an attempt is made to join a site, the site validates the administrative credentials, then returns connection information about its configuration store back to the portal machine. The portal machine then uses the connection information to work with the configuration store. If this is the first portal machine in your site, use the Create Site operation instead. The joinSite operation:

Registers a machine to an existing site (active machine)

Creates a snapshot of the database of the active machine

Updates the token shared key

Updates Web Adaptor configurations

Sets up replication to keep the database of both machines in sync The operation is time-consuming as the database is configured on the machine and all configurations are applied from the active machine. After the operation is complete, the web server that hosts the API will be restarted.

Argument	Description
admin_url	Required string. The admin URL of the existing portal site to which a machine will be joined
username	Required string. The username for the initial administrator account of the existing portal site.
password	Required string. The password for the initial administrator account of the existing portal site.

Returns: dict

System¶

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

This resource is an umbrella for a collection of system-wide resources for your portal. This resource provides access to the ArcGIS Web Adaptor configuration, portal directories, database management server, indexing capabilities, license information, and the properties of your portal.

property content_discovery¶

This resource allows an administrator to enable or disable external content discovery from the portal website. Because some Esri-provided content requires external access to the internet, an administrator may choose to disable the content to prevent requests to ArcGIS Online resources. When disabling the content, a select group of items will be disabled:

All basemaps owned by “esri_[lang]”
All content owned by “esri_nav”
All content owned by “esri”

This resource will not disable ArcGIS Online utility services or Living Atlas content. For steps to disable these items, refer to the Portal Administrator guide.

When external content is disabled, System Languages are also disabled.

Argument	Description
value	required Boolean. If true, external content is enabled, else it is disabled.

Returns: boolean

property database¶: The database resource represents the database management system (DBMS) that contains all of the portal’s configuration and relationship rules. This resource also returns the name and version of the database server currently running in the portal. You can use the properety to update database accounts

property directories¶

The directories resource is a collection of directories that are used by the portal to store and manage content. Beginning at 10.2.1, Portal for ArcGIS supports five types of directories:

Content directory-The content directory contains the data associated with every item in the portal.

Database directory-The built-in security store and sharing rules are stored in a Database server that places files in the database directory.

Temporary directory - The temporary directory is used as a scratch workspace for all the portal’s runtime components.

Index directory-The index directory contains all the indexes associated with the content in the portal. The indexes are used for quick retrieval of information and for querying purposes.

Logs directory-Errors and warnings are written to text files in the log file directory. Each day, if new errors or warnings are encountered, a new log file is created.

If you would like to change the path for a directory, you can use the Edit Directory operation.

property index_status¶

The status resource allows you to view the status of the indexing service. You can view the number of users, groups, and search items in both the database (store) and the index. If the database and index do not match, indexing is either in progress or there is a problem with the index. It is recommended that you reindex to correct any issues. If indexing is in progress, you can monitor the status by refreshing the page.

Returns: dict

USAGE: Prints out current Index Status

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://yourportal.com/portal", "portaladmin", "password")
sysmgr = gis.admin.system
idx_status = sysmgr.index_status
import json
print(json.dumps(idx_status, indent=2))

# Output
{
  "indexes": [
    {
      "name": "users",
      "databaseCount": 51,
      "indexCount": 51
    },
    {
      "name": "groups",
      "databaseCount": 325,
      "indexCount": 325
    },
    {
      "name": "search",
      "databaseCount": 8761,
      "indexCount": 8761
    }
  ]
}

property languages¶: This resource gets/sets which languages will appear in portal content search results. Use the Update languages operation to modify which language’content will be available.

property licenses¶: Portal for ArcGIS requires a valid license to function correctly. This resource returns the current status of the license. Starting at 10.2.1, Portal for ArcGIS enforces the license by checking the number of registered members and comparing it with the maximum number of members authorized by the license. Contact Esri Customer Service if you have questions about license levels or expiration properties.

property properties¶

Gets/Sets the system properties that have been modified to control the portal’s environment. The list of available properties are:

privatePortalURL-Informs the portal that it has a front end load-balancer/proxy reachable at the URL. This property is typically used to set up a highly available portal configuration

portalLocalhostName-Informs the portal back-end to advertise the value of this property as the local portal machine. This is typically used during federation and when the portal machine has one or more public host names.

httpProxyHost-Specifies the HTTP hostname of the proxy server

httpProxyPort-Specifies the HTTP port number of the proxy server

httpProxyUser-Specifies the HTTP proxy server username.

httpProxyPassword-Specifies the HTTP proxy server password.

isHttpProxyPasswordEncrypted-Set this property to false when you are configuring the HTTP proxy server password in plain text. After configuration, the password will be encrypted and this property will be set to true

httpsProxyHost-Specifies the HTTPS hostname of the proxy server

httpsProxyPort-Specifies the HTTPS port number of the proxy server

httpsProxyUser-Specifies the HTTPS proxy server username

httpsProxyPassword-Specifies the HTTPS proxy server password

isHttpsProxyPasswordEncrypted-Set this property to false when you are configuring the HTTPS proxy server password in plain text. After configuration, the password will be encrypted and this property will be set to true.

nonProxyHosts-If you want to federate ArcGIS Server and the site does not require use of the forward proxy, list the server machine or site in the nonProxyHosts property. Machine and domain items are separated using a pipe (|).

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.

Returns: boolean

property web_adaptors¶: 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.

Licenses¶

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

Portal for ArcGIS requires a valid license to function correctly. This resource returns the current status of the license. As of 10.2.1, Portal for ArcGIS enforces the license by checking the number of registered members and comparing it with the maximum number of members authorized by the license. Contact Esri Customer Service if you have questions about license levels or expiration properties. Starting at 10.5, Portal for ArcGIS enforces two levels of membership for licensing to define sets of privileges for registered members and their assigned roles.

entitlements(app='arcgisprodesktop')¶

This operation returns the currently queued entitlements for a product, such as ArcGIS Pro or Navigator for ArcGIS, and applies them when their start dates become effective. It’s possible that all entitlements imported using the Import Entitlements operation are effective immediately and no entitlements are added to the queue. In this case, the operation returns an empty result.

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

Returns: dict

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
machineName : yourportal.com
machineIP : 10.11.12.13
webAdaptorURL : https://yourwebserver.com/portal
id : ac17d7b9-adbd-4c45-ae13-77b0ad6f14e8
description :
httpPort : 80
httpsPort : 443
refreshServerListInterval : 1
reconnectServerOnFailureInterval : 1

Returns: List of Web Adaptor objects. Typically, only 1 Web Adaptor will exist for a Portal
