Individual login for Fieldmap for more than 100 users

Currently, I am conducting a massive survey involving hundreds of surveyors (around 200).

Right now, I use only 1 account in Portal (Creator type) to be used for login to all surveyors. After succesfull login, the surveyor will then choose their own name based on dropdown list.

All users can see their target data (points to be surveyed) and as well as other data that do not belong to them.

This survey is going well if all surveyors are trustworthy and no one is monkeying around.
I know this is *real bad* but I have no way around.

The real downside of this are :

- multiple users using the same login.
- hard to do data separation. Separation of data between users can not be done individually. This will lead to fraudulant event conducted by other users who, for some reasons, being expelled from the survey and then doing data tampering.

I really need to separate user login to our portal (1 user for 1 Portal login account).
How can I overcome this ? Even the highest license (Arcgis Enterprise Advance) only has maximum 50 Creator accounts

Please reach out your customer success manager or representative from your distributor we do not recommend that you follow this workflow as you can leave yourself open to issues if something happens.

Please see section 2.5 on the master agreement

Continuing to attempt the workflow proposed puts you in a position of breaking the master agreement.

Hi @yockee ,

As others have pointed out, you'll want to look into purchasing Mobile Worker licenses for all of your surveyors. This will put you in alignment with the license agreement as well as enable you to have a lot more control and security around user access to data.

Once each worker is using their own sign-in, there are a few ways you can ensure people are only working with the data they are supposed to see. Take a look at our Ownership-Based Access Controls for feature layers: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-documents/ownership-based-access-for-feature-layers/ta-p/916288.

If you need additional access control at the root of the service, you can also look into creating a feature layer view and using the CURRENT_USER keyword in the layer definition:

I hope that helps!

I'll be honest I think you're highly likely breaking the terms and conditions of your ESRI agreement to have multiple people using the same login. You say "surveyors", presumably using Field Maps? If so there is a "mobile worker" licence type specifically designed for that which allows data capture without the "creation" level of a creator licence, i.e. they can add data to surveys you create, but cannot make maps and hosted feature layers themselves. If you're hitting a limit on your portal though, you need to speak to ESRI about purchasing more licences.

All right. This is what I am looking for.. thanks .

yockee

Yes. I see...

Turns out that the best way to overcome this by conforming to license's availibility is to develop our own survey app using android and web app (based on PHP). The attributes are directly edited via database connection (just like any ordinary web app) whereas the Map is used for viewing only, so I don't need any extra user to access data via feature service on Field Map.

The FieldMap itself is seldomly used now for random checking.
