Editor Widget: Restrict to ADD only

MeleKoneya — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:19:26 GMT

Is it possible to allow users to only ADD features with the Editor Widget?

We don't want the users to be able to MOVE, DELETE, or EDIT VERTICES.

I was looking at the the CreateOptions parameters, but didn't see how we could limit the functionality of the Editor Widget to only allow ADDs.

Let me know if there is a way to do this.

Thanks,

Mele

Hi Mele,
Login to ArcGIS Server Manager and click on the service that you are trying to edit. Click on "Capabilities", and then click on "Feature Access." Further down the screen, under "Operations Allowed," you can uncheck delete, and update. This might prevent your users from being able to update the attributes.

Thanks Ken for the suggestion. I took a look at it appears that this level of control of Operation Allowed is availabe in 10.1. I did not see it in our 10.0 installation, but did see it in our 10.1 installation. This holds some promise, but like you said, I hope that the update of attributes is not disabled by un-checking 'Update'. I did notice that there is a "Allow Geometry Updates" Property but this would allow users to only update attributes. I will have to experiment with settings in the service, but it doesn't sound like we can prohibit the users from editing the geometry. Maybe there is something in the API.
