How should an administrator change a Viewer user type to a Creator for an employee who has moved into a GIS analyst position?

Changing a user type in ArcGIS Online is an administrative task that requires navigating to specific locations within the platform to manage user roles effectively. Selecting the option that involves reassessing the user type directly from the Members page and using the Manage User Type dialog box is the appropriate method for modifying an individual user's role to align with their new responsibilities.

When an employee transitions to a position that requires elevated access or capabilities, such as from Viewer to Creator, it is essential to ensure that the changes are made accurately and efficiently. The Manage User Type dialog box on the Members page provides a clear interface to select and assign the desired user type. This approach allows the administrator to focus directly on the specific employee's account and swiftly provide the necessary permissions and tools that a Creator user type entails, which includes advanced editing capabilities and access to additional GIS functions.

While other options mention potential methods for changing user types, they may not specifically address the requirement for individual user reassignment or could involve more generalized settings that are not as straightforward for managing a single member's role. Therefore, choosing the method that directly engages with the user's account and user type in the admin interface ensures a precise and effective update to the employee's access level aligned with their new position.
