embed login credentials in a URL to open online map

Question

How do I embed login credentials in a URL to open an online map?

This is a web map that I created on arcgisonline and I don't want to share it to everyone.

I tried to add ?login=myusers&password=mypassword to then end of the url but it does not work.

Thanks.

Hi Vinh,

This is not a supported workflow. ArcGIS Online accounts are meant to be assigned to a specific individual and not licensed to be used as a "headless" user.

Hope this helps,
