Set up Single Sign-On (SSO) for your ArcGIS account

All new UofG students and staff users must use single sign-on (SSO) for ArcGIS.

To set up your account to log in using SSO:

  1. Go to ArcGIS and select Sign In.
  2. Select Your ArcGIS organisation's URL.
  3. Enter uofglasgow in the field beside maps.arcgis.com. 
  4. Place a tick in the box beside 'Remember this URL' and select Continue.
  5. Select University of Glasgow Staff & Students and follow the standard single sign-on login.

If you're thinking of updating an existing, older account to support SSO login:

  • Your ArcGIS system administrator can help if you have content that needs to be migrated to a new account or if you collaborate with others and share ArcGIS Online content. Administrative contacts can be found within the system once you are logged in.
  • SSO access is for research and teaching usage
  • Using SSO will give you full provision of the software from our educational license

Estates users

  • Operational users (e.g., Estates) can obtain access, but this is via a separate ArcGIS organisation. This access can be requested via the UofG Helpdesk.
