Limiting Usage on Layer in Collector

ChelseaRozek

We have our parcels as a layer on ArcGIS Online. I would like to keep using Limit Usage with them, to define which URLs are allowed to access this layer. The problem is, this layer doesn't show up in Collector then. Is there a certain referrer URL we can use to allow Collector to access this layer?

I can't just share it to a certain group, because we allow some outside URLs to access the parcels. I'd prefer to not have to make another parcels layer just for collector if possible.

Thanks for your advice! I'm hoping I don't have to do that, because people will be easily confused by having multiple Parcel items.

I was taking a look at the traffic with Fiddler, and I actually got it to work in Collector when a test item (also hosted on our own server) had it's Usage Limited to "ArcGIS_AndroidSDK". That layer was still unavailable (as intended) when I tried to access it from another AGOL account and add it to a map. So it seems to be a valid way to Limit Usage to Android mobile devices at least.

Edit: The iOS string is arcgisios.

As Doug mentions below, this still allows any application built with these SDKs to access the item, not just Collector.

Update: I believe the referrer IDs have changed. I'm being prompted to log in when using Collector and Explorer on these layers. I'm just going to use Jake's suggestion for now. One copy of the item shared publicly, limited to the URL where we host our web apps, and the other shared only to the organization and without any limit usage configurations set. This second one is the one we're using in Collector and Explorer as all the maps are only being used by organization employees and thus they'll be signing into the apps anyways.

You can add the service as another item in AGOL and share it to a specific Group for the Collector application. So you will have two items pointing to the same feature service:

Parcels - shared with everyone with limited usage

Parcels_Collector - shared with a Group that collector users are invited to

Nope, it's an item linked to what we have hosted on our own server. Unfortunately it changes daily, so we couldn't do hosted.

Hi Chelsea,

If this is a hosted feature service you could create a view.
