Esri Updates Terms of Use on (Free) Personal

 Accounts for ArcGIS Online

 Notice: ESRI Terms of Use Update

What's changing?

We are changing the name from ArcGIS Online Personal Account to ArcGIS Online Public Account. The ArcGIS Online Public Account will continue to be available at no cost and, as such, is licensed for personal, noncommercial use only.

 

Under the updated Terms of Use, ArcGIS Online Public Account holders can:

• no longer share items privately or create private groups
• continue creating public groups and sharing items publicly, or keep all items private for their own viewing
• keep private groups and private items if a personal account was created before November 30

(Note: We will not make any existing private groups and associated items public.)

 

If you want to continue to create private groups so you can share items privately, you can purchase an annual ArcGIS Online subscription, which also gives you access to all ArcGIS Online features and services.

So, in short:

• a name change to the account type to Public Account 
• no private items or private groups from here on
• existing private items and groups will stay that way if created before November 30

Why?

• The name change of the account to Public Account makes it clear all new additions are public or for the account owner's use. 
• The private groups and items are now only available in the subscription version of ArcGIS Online. Esri is tweaking the "free" part of the "freemium" part of the service. 
• Esri is respecting its users by not turning items and groups that were private to public. 

Thanksgiving

A time for you to give thanks for your many blessings; Family, Friends, Freedom, Health, Food, Home, and everything we take for granted every day. have a safe and enjoyable holiday everyone!

Good Friday Afternoon,
     Well, There are a lot of GIS activities going on in the region despite summer slowing down & school starting up. Several of you have probably noticed a flood of emails reminding everyone to sign up for training & workshops along with the 15th Anniversary OKSCAUG conference coming up the 24th - 27th of September. The conference is proving to be a huge success so far with attendees coming in from 9 states & total attendance expected to be between 275 & 300.

     There are also several other opportunities on the horizon regarding local training & SCAUG assisting various GIS functions in the region. If you know of any event or have a suggestion for one please let us know. Have an idea for a training class you would like in your specific area? Think you can pull a few people together to get the class started? That is exactly what we are looking for. With that need identified we can work with you from there to make it a reality.

     From training classes to conferences, sister organizations events to ESRI rollouts,  help make SCAUG the one stop shop for all your GIS resources & needs in the area.

     To give you a quick sampling of some of the events we are currently working on please go to the events tab listed on the SCAUG website. SCAUG EVENTS
