GIS administrators and publishers can quickly increase their operational efficiency and productivity by automating repetitive tasks. In this session, we demonstrate, using a few cookbook style scripts, how the ArcGIS Python API can be used to automate some common tasks such as • adding a list of members to a portal and join them to groups • publishing a list of datasets as web layers and create web maps and web scenes using them • updating existing web maps and schedule such updates to run periodically • finding which web maps or scenes will break if someone accidentally deleted a web layer • listing content based on a particular search criteria.
