Accessing ESRI GIS Software and Web Applications at MSU: Changing AGOL content ownership

How to access ESRI software at MSU

Moving content

If you leave MSU or change roles, you should consider if your content needs to be moved to a new owner.

You can contact me, an admin on the MSU ESRI account for assistance with any of these options: atickner@msu.edu

Option1: Transferring to a new owner within MSU. If you have content that is needed for larger projects and multiple people are using it, content should be transferred to a new active owner. This is easy to do, just email me with your account details and the account for items to be transferred to, and what you want transferred.

Option 2: Accounts can be converted to public ESRI accounts and items from a MSU ERIS account can be transferred to public accounts. Caveat: items may break, licensed content will not transfer and not all items created in apps will work in a public account (Survey123 is not public).

Option 3: Transferring to a new institutional account. This will require communication between admins in the two AGOL portals and an institutional partnership between the portals.
