Hosted Feature Service Supported Operations?

I have an AGOL hosted feature service that is publicly shared.

Currently it looks like the only Supported Operation, as shown in the REST endpoint, is Query.

Are other capabilities such as Identify (which we see in ArcServer services) possible?

Hi @JayJohnsonWashoeCounty, have you seen this page: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/10.8/publish-services/windows/editor-permissions-for-feature-services.htm

From the above link: "Feature services allow you to control what types of edits users can make to the service. You do this by enabling or disabling operations and properties on the Feature Access tab of the Service Editor in ArcMap."

It is looking to me like perhaps the Identify operation is specific to Map Services and doesn't apply to Feature Services. Can anyone confirm this suspicion?

@JayJohnsonWashoeCounty Did you enable the Dynamic functionality when publishing as described here:

Supported functionality for dynamic map services are described at these links:

Dylan,

The service was published to AGOL by another organization, so I don't have control over the "dynamic" functionality.

One of your links, however, led me to the answer I needed about the capabilities of services. "Identify" is only an Operation available for Map Services, not Feature Services. So thanks for that!

@JayJohnsonWashoeCounty Whoops, sorry for the confusion! Glad you found the right documentation link to answer your question.
