What are the Types of AGOL
...
Content?
AGOL offers the ability to share and edit a variety of spatial data thru creation of AGOL content, services, and applications.
...
- Feature Layer (hosted): Used to utilize vector data (point, line, or polygon spatial information) for display, editing, and query overlaid on a basemap. Support interactive highlighting, queries, and pop-ups.
- Tile Layer (hosted): Basemaps that give a map a geographic context. Support fast map visualization using a collection of predawn map images or tile.
- Web Maps: A 2D map that can be created, stylized, and shared between applications. Web maps can consist of Feature Layers (hosted) and Tile Layer (hosted).
- Feature Layer (hosted, view): Reference the same data as the Feature Layer (hosted) to create the view, but you can apply different editing, sharing, and other settings to the view.
- Service Definitions: A file that contains information about Feature Layers (hosted) and Tile Layers (hosted) such as properties, capabilities, and service type. Files are automatically published when any hosted service is published.
What are Groups?
Groups provide extra security for content, helps to organize content items, and fosters collaboration. A group consists of a collection of features, maps, and apps usually related to a specific department or project. Group owners decide who can find the group, who can join, and who can contribute content
An individual user can be members of multiple groups.
What are Sharing Levels?
Sharing Levels define the level at which content is accessible for viewing and editing.
...
Private: Only the content owner and the organization administrators can see private content. Private is an appropriate level of sharing if you are still developing a piece of content and are not ready for others to use it.
Group: Groups are collections of content related to a particular theme or area of interest. Group members can collaborate on content shared to the group. Membership can be open or restricted, depending on your needs. Groups themselves can be shared publicly or within an organization.
Organization: All members of an organization can see this content. Note that you can share content with both an organization and with select groups. This setup allows everyone in an organization to access content, while still providing a content depot for teams of colleagues.
Public: Public content can be accessed by anyone and used freely across the internet. This option is ideal for government and open data, as well as public publications. Again, publicly shared content can also be included in groups.
What are Roles?
Roles define the set of privileges assigned to a member.
