Spatial analysis services and public users

Question

Sorry if this is a double post. I was having trouble with the forum posting.

I am not a developer, but I'm trying understand a little about the spatial analysis services in ArcGIS Online. According to the documentation, to use spatial analysis (like Summarize Nearby tool) in the ArcGIS.com viewer requires a named user within the Publisher role. If you are using the Spatial Analysis API to consume those AGOL services into a separate, custom website, can non-named (public) users without AGOL accounts use the spatial analysis tools within your site? If so, how does the service authentication to AGOL work? Thanks.

Any reason why Spatial Analysis isn't available for App Login?

For Spatial Analysis Services see here

Get started with the Spatial Analysis service—ArcGIS REST API: Spatial Analysis Service | ArcGIS for Developers

Licensing

In order to use the analysis tasks, the administrator of your organization needs to grant you certain privileges. To use any of the analysis tools, you will need the Spatial Analysis privilege. If the output of your task is a hosted feature service, as opposed to a feature collection, you also need the two following privileges:

* Create, update, and delete content
* Publish hosted features

Certain tasks need additional privileges such as Network Analysis and GeoEnrichment. If the task requires additional privileges, they will be listed in the task documentation.

Also

App login can be used to access any of these services:

* Geocoding
* Routing and Directions
* Demographic Data (GeoEnrichment)
* Esri Geotrigger Service
* Esri Premium Maps and Layers which require a subscription.
* Elevation Analysis
