If you're using ArcGIS Online for administrative purposes:
 

Brandeis has two ArcGIS Online instances, an academic use site and an administrative use site. If you are using Esri software (e.g., ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, etc.) for administrative purposes, you'll need to contact our GIS Librarian to receive an email invite to our administrative use site. This will help ensure that we're compliant with our software licensing agreements with Esri. Once you receive an email invite, you'll be able to sign into our administrative use site using your Brandeis credentials.

Administrative uses of the software include: facilities management, field operations, campus safety, asset management, student recruitment, fundraising, emergency management, etc.
