What is the purpose of the ArcGIS Online organizational settings?

The purpose of the ArcGIS Online organizational settings is to configure the organization’s ArcGIS Online account structure and security. This includes setting up vital elements like user roles, permissions, and security settings that help manage how data and maps are accessed and utilized within the organization. Properly configuring these settings is essential for ensuring that users have appropriate access to data while maintaining security protocols necessary to protect sensitive information.

For instance, organizational settings allow administrators to define roles for different users, enabling varying levels of access to resources, such as maps, layers, and apps. It also facilitates the establishment of groups to enhance collaboration and data sharing among users while ensuring that privacy and security measures are adhered to.

Other options do not encompass the broader scope of organizational settings. Setting up specific map styles relates to the visual representation of the data within maps, creating templates for Story Maps involves design elements specific to storytelling within the ArcGIS framework, and managing only user accounts and permissions narrows the focus to one aspect of organizational settings without acknowledging the other critical elements related to overall account structure and security management.
