AGOL Maintenance Scripts

A collection of ready-to-use notebooks for common ArcGIS Online administration tasks. Maintained by the Geospatial Operations Team, World Bank Group.

Available Scripts

Script	Description
Bulk Sharing	Share items to groups and set access levels based on tag rules. Supports dry-run preview, post-run validation, and detailed logging.

Quick Start

1. Browse the notebooks/ folder and download the .ipynb file you need.
2. Upload it to your ArcGIS Online Notebook environment.
3. Open the notebook, edit the Configuration section at the top, and run.

Every notebook includes a DRY_RUN = True mode — always preview before applying changes.

For Contributors

The canonical source for each script lives in scripts/ as a plain .py file. Notebooks in notebooks/ are auto-generated from these using Jupytext.

Never edit .ipynb files directly. Edit the .py source, then regenerate:

make notebooks

See docs/contributing.md for the full workflow.
