Publish a service
Compose a service from tables in the databases this server is pointed at, then publish it. Nothing is served until you press Publish, and a service is published whole — its layers and its groups arrive together or not at all.
Data sources
Databases and folders this server reads layers from. Only administrators register one, because a source holds the credentials to someone else's database.
| Name | Connection | Layers |
|---|
A PostGIS database this server reads from, or a folder of GeoParquet files it reads in place. Registering a database stores the credential, sealed, because the server connects again every time somebody opens a map on it; a folder stores only its path. Nothing is published by registering: you choose the tables or files afterwards, in Publish a service.
Map
What every new map in this organization starts on, and the basemaps it offers.
Basemap gallery
The group whose vector tile services (in Web Mercator) and web maps appear as basemaps in Map Viewer, ArcGIS Pro and Maps SDK apps, as an ArcGIS Enterprise basemap gallery does. Anybody who can share into the group can add one.
What a new map starts on.
Map ground
Your own vector tile services, such as an OpenStreetMap extract you imported, drawn under the data when the default basemap is Your own tile services. With none chosen, OpenStreetMap's public tiles are drawn. People who chose their own ground in the viewer keep it. It is the server's, so it is the ground of every organization on it.
Drawing order, top first
Utility services
Services this organization points its ArcGIS clients at for work a map asks for.
The geometry service ArcGIS clients use is the server's: its system administrator chooses it for every organization on it, so there is nothing to set here.
Geometry service
The geometry service ArcGIS clients signed in to this portal use for measuring, buffering and projecting — what Portal's clients read from it. Leave it empty to use this server's own. Name another, such as an ArcGIS Server's, and clients use that one instead; it answers them under its own sharing. ArcGIS Enterprise has this under Organization › Settings › Utility services › Geometry. It is the server's, so every organization on it uses the same one.
General
What this whole server does unless a service sets its own. What a map offers — basemaps, the ground under them, the geometry service clients use — and how people sign in are Studio's, under Organization › Settings.
Query results
How many features a query returns when it does not ask for a number, and the
most it returns when it does — ArcGIS's maxRecordCount, which every service
document gives. Larger pages mean fewer requests and heavier responses. A service that sets
its own page size in its Parameters tab keeps it; empty here means the server's default.
Style sources
Other servers a vector tile style may fetch tiles, fonts or icons from, such as a basemap
vendor. A style is fetched by every viewer's browser, so only an administrator decides where it may send
them. Write each as https://host, https://host:port or
https://*.host for every name under a host. With none listed, a style may use only this
server's own resources.
Sign-in and security
How people sign in, and whether they also need a code from an authenticator app, is set once for the whole organization in Studio, under Organization › Settings › Security. Server uses the same sign-in, so it has no security settings of its own.
Status
Whether anything is wrong with this server right now, and where.
Reading the services…
Platform store
If the store goes down, layers shared with everyone keep answering for a while and everything else is refused.
Runtime
This process, now. Time in garbage collection is the figure that limits how much load it takes.
Caches
Who may read a service, and whether it is started, are never cached.
Datastore
By owner, largest first
Sizes as PostgreSQL reports them. No quota is set.
Every address this server answers has a rule that decides who may reach it. The figure to watch is without a rule, which should be zero.
Services left with no layers after their last layer was removed. Nothing records which were made on purpose, so this is a list you check, not an automatic clean-up.

Logs
What this server and its studio have been doing.
Administration is the audit trail — every action that changed something, who did it, and from where. Requests is one row per HTTP request, with its status and how long it took. Studio viewer is what the map viewer reported from a browser, which is where a failure that never reached the server shows up. Server warnings is what this server itself reported — a layer it could not read, a source it could not reach — held in memory since it last started.
| When | What | Who | From | Resource |

Organizations
Each organization is a portal of its own on this server, with its own members, groups and content, reached at its own host name. A host name works once DNS points it at this server and the server's certificate covers it.
| Organization | Host names | Status | Organization ID | Actions |
|---|
Groups
A set of members, and the services shared with them. What is shared with a group is readable by its members and by nobody else.

Member roles
What members may do. Every role's privileges can be changed except the administrator's, whose authority is a property of the server rather than a set of rows.

Security
How people sign in to this organization, and which apps may sign them in.
Two-step sign-in
Whether members must enter a code from an authenticator app, as well as their password, to sign in.
Sign-in
Where people can sign in besides a password on this server: an OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 provider such as Microsoft Entra ID, AD FS, Keycloak, Okta or Google, or an LDAP directory such as Active Directory. Their groups there can decide their role and groups here.
| Provider | Address | First sign-in | Accounts | Actions |
|---|
Apps
Apps that sign people in to this server through OAuth — a web app with an app ID, or ArcGIS Field Maps. A person signs in on this server's own page, and the app receives a code only at an address registered here.
| App | App ID | Returns to | Actions |

Members
Who has an account, and what each of them may do.
| Actions |
|---|
Removing a member asks what happens to what they own; disabling stops their sign-in and leaves everything they own where it is.
Security
Search
Everything in Studio you can see: content by its title, tags, description, owner or item id; groups; and, for whoever manages members, members.
