Web AppBuilder 1.3 Analysis Widget permissions

Sunshineteam — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 15:41:23 GMT

I am new to Web Appbuilder. I am trying to build an application using the analysis widget but keep getting the error "Your user role cannot perform analysis. In order to perform analysis, the administrator of your organization needs to grant you certain privileges." See picture below. All my maps are currently hosted on a local server and accessible through a web portal. I am the administrator, so I figured I should have full permissions. I read elsewhere that the analysis widget currently works only on ArcGIS Online, is this true?

Hi Sunshine,

Are you using Web AppBuilder with Portal for ArcGIS? If so, the Analysis widget works if you have a hosting server (e.g., ArcGIS Server + ArcGIS Data Store) configured with your Portal. Please review this similar topic thread for details:

Hi Derek,

Sorry for late reply, Yes I am using Web AppBuilder with Portal for ArcGIS and have ArcGIS Server + ArcGIS Data Store configured with the portal. I have reviewed the link you provided, however the information there appear to be referring to the use of Analysis Widget with AGOL services. I was wondering if there are any special permission settings that I should be aware of.

Thank you very much for you input, I really appreciate your help.

Hi Sunshine,

> I have reviewed the link you provided, however the information there appear to be referring to the use of Analysis Widget with AGOL services.

That's incorrect. In the thread, I am explaining how the Analysis widget works when utilized with Portal for ArcGIS and a hosting server is enabled. You need to be a "publisher" to run the analysis tools.

- Are you using Web AppBuilder embedded in Portal for ArcGIS? or are you using Developer Edition signing into your Portal?

- Do you have Portal for ArcGIS configured with a hosting server?

- Are you seeing this error when creating the app in the "builder" environment? Can you confirm you are logged in as an administrator when creating the app? or does the Analysis widget work when you create the app, but does not work after you've deployed the app?

Hope this helps,

Derek,

We are using Developer Edition signing into our Portal. The portal is configured with the server and we have tried using it during the building of the app and after the app was published.

thanks.

Hi Sunshine,

The error message you're seeing is because the account you've logged into Portal as, to create the web app does not have sufficient permissions. The account must be in the publisher role.

You've said you're logged in as an administrator when attempting to create the app, so I am not sure what the issue is. Please contact Esri Tech Support so they can help you investigate the issue further.

Good luck,

Hi Sunshine

I have you managed to resolve this issue yet? I am also getting this error when I try and use the viewshed analysis tool in the Webapp builder. All the other analysis tools seems to work except any of the tools that us raster images.

Both the administrator and the publisher get the same error.

Hi Sunshine

I have managed to get the viewshed analysis tool to work. You need to add the elevation service or what ever service that you are trying to us to you Portal or ArcGIS online subscription. I have attached the following url and details below.

-----------------------------------------------

Configure utility services—Portal for ArcGIS (10.4) | ArcGIS for Server

Elevation

The portal has two elevation services: an elevation utility service used for analysis and an elevation service used for 3D in the scene viewer.

For analysis, you can add the Elevation Service provided by Esri to your portal. This will use the credentials from an ArcGIS Online account that has credits associated with it. Alternatively, you can configure a custom elevation utility service to use if your portal is not connected to the Internet.

For the scene viewer, if your portal is not connected to the Internet or you have higher resolution data you want to use for the portal's scene viewer elevation service, you can publish one from ArcMap and update the portal's Elevation3D Service setting.

-----------------

This is how you add a service to your ArcGIS Portal or ArcGIS Online Account.

----------------

Configure ArcGIS Online utility services—Portal for ArcGIS (10.4) | ArcGIS for Server

Configure ArcGIS Online utility services

ArcGIS 10.4 on Windows

You can configure your portal to use utility services from ArcGIS Online. If you would like to use a utility service provided byEsri, you must have an ArcGIS Online organizational account. The account must have credits associated with it and the correct permissions to use the utility services.

Sign in to the portal website as an Administrator of your organization and click My Organization > Edit Settings > ArcGIS Online.
Select the utility services you would like to configure with the portal.
Enter the credentials for the ArcGIS Online account to be used for the utility services.
Click Configure.

The utility services you select will be configured with the portal. An item is created in the portal that stores the ArcGIS Onlineaccount credentials with it. Each item is shared with the portal's organizational members at the time it is created. You can view the items or edit their sharing properties in My Content.

---------------

I hope that this help solver your problem.

I have the same problem, and I am the admin and every time I try to use the analysis widget it gives me the same error !!!! what is the solution ?!!

Re: Web AppBuilder 1.3 Analysis Widget permissions

Hi Sunshine and Martin,

Could you check the version of your Portal for ArcGIS? Spatial analysis tools are not available in Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 and previous. So the Analysis widget does not work against these Portals. However WAB 1.3 shows the misleading permission message you have got.

If you're using Portal for ArcGIS 10.4 or 10.4.1 and you still meet this problem, you need to be granted specific privileges: Create content, publish features, and use spatial analysis. Some tools require privileges to use GeoEnrichment or network analysis. See more here: Organization roles—Portal for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for Server .

Hello:

I am having the same error as sunshine team using portal for arcgis 10.4.1. I am unable to use the analysis widget and get the same error message. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have tried using both publisher and administrator roles but the same error results. I am using Portal & Data Store. It seems like a permissions issue but not sure how to fix it. Thank you.

I figured out what my problem was. This article is great.

https://arcgis.cityofferndale.org/portal/portalhelp/en/admin/help/index.html#//017s000000mm000000

All I needed to do was ENABLE analysis for my accounts. To do this log into your Portal as administer. Go to "Edit Settings" Then click on "Server". There you should be able to choose ENABLE analysis.

Worked for me.

I am having the issue on Portal 10.4.1 with Web Tier Authentication (IIS). Anyone get a resolution?

Administrator gets the following message

Analysis

Your user role cannot perform analysis. In order to perform analysis, the administrator of your organization needs to grant you certain privileges.

Also having issues with the Add Data Widget. Using WAB Builder Developer edition 2.2. I suspect they have the same underlying issue. Connected to Portal.

Hi Ian,

To confirm: you're using Web AppBuilder Developer Edition v2.2 connected to Portal for ArcGIS 10.4.1, right?

When you initially start Web AppBuilder Developer Edition, do you sign into the app with a named user account that has the appropriate permissions to execute the spatial analysis tools in the Analysis widget?

You'll need to elaborate more on your Add Data widget issue ...

Hope this helps,

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, I am using Web AppBuilder Developer Edition v2.2 connected to Portal for ArcGIS 10.4.1.

Environment:

- Local machine is running the Web Appbuilder Developer Edition 2.2.

- Portal for ArcGIS 10.4.1 is hosted in a cloud environment on a VM

- Microsoft IIS 8 (SSL) with Web Adaptor on dedicated VM.

- Portal is federated with arcgis server.

- Active Directory

I signed in with an account with administrator privileges. When running the analysis widget i get the following message.

"Your user role cannot perform analysis. In order to perform analysis, the administrator of your organization needs to grant you certain privileges."

I also tried using a different account with Publisher privileges and received the same response message.

Finally, I tried the Analysis Tool using Portal's internal WebAppbuilder (rather than the developer edition) and had the same error message! So it seems that this issue may be related to Portal rather than specifically the WAB Developer Edition.

Any Ideas? Silly question, do i need spatial analyst installed on the server if running Portal?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

> I tried the Analysis Tool using Portal's internal WebAppbuilder (rather than the developer edition) and had the same error message!

Can you please login to the federated ArcGIS Server site - specifically, login to ArcGIS Server Manager > Services tab > System folder and see if the SpatialAnalysisTools GP service is running? Web AppBuilder's Analysis widget functionality is based on this GP service; it needs to be running in order for the widget to work.

> do i need spatial analyst installed on the server if running Portal?

No, you don't this extension. The spatial analysis functionality in the Analysis widget is based on the SpatialAnalysisTools GP service of the federated Server site with Portal.

Hope this helps,

Hi Derek,

The "SpatialAnalysis Tools" is running (1 instance running of 2 Maximum).

Thanks

Hi Ian,

You mentioned,

> Environment:

- Local machine is running the Web Appbuilder Developer Edition 2.2.

- Portal for ArcGIS 10.4.1 is hosted in a cloud environment on a VM

- Microsoft IIS 8 (SSL) with Web Adaptor on dedicated VM.

I suspect that the cause of your issues might be related to communication problems between your local machine running Web AppBuilder Developer Edition and the Portal VM. Are the federated GIS Server and ArcGIS Data Store on the same VM as Portal?

I don't have much experience working with VMs. Please contact Esri Tech Support and open an incident, they can help investigate your deployment in more detail.

Hope this helps,
