Set up ArcGIS Assistant in the Enterprise portal to enable Enterprise account login

Summary

ArcGIS Assistant allows users to view and interact with the underlying JSON structure of the ArcGIS Enterprise portal items. To connect to an ArcGIS Enterprise account, ArcGIS Assistant uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. This requires registering the application within the Enterprise portal and using the Client ID to complete the authentication workflow.
