In which way are the number of credits in an ArcGIS Online subscription determined?

The number of credits in an ArcGIS Online subscription is determined by the user types selected for the organization. Each user type in ArcGIS Online has a specific set of capabilities as well as defined credit consumption rates based on the functionalities they utilize. For instance, users who have higher access rights may consume more credits for tasks such as storing data, performing analysis, and creating or sharing web maps and apps.

User types can range from basic levels that incur fewer credits to advanced levels that allow for extensive use of features, leading to higher credit consumption. The organization’s choice of user types directly affects the overall spending in terms of credits, making it a key factor in credit determination.

Other factors, such as the number of members or apps created, do not directly affect the credits allocation in the same way; instead, they reflect the organization's structure and output but not the specific credit consumption profile dictated by user roles. Transactions performed by members could indicate activity but do not establish the foundational credit limits for the subscription.
