Allow public to create points on web map but only administrators can view the points

joedaigneau — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:38:27 GMT

Can anyone help me with this? I need to allow users (general public not logged in) to access a map and create points on the map with a description of the point (<100 characters) and save it. Now the hard part.. I need to restrict who can see the points created by the general public. Only administrators (4 of them) will be allowed to view the data created by the general public. Is this possible with ArcGIS Online and if so, where do I get started?
thanks,
Joe

Joe,

I don't think this is possible, the only way a non member can add data is through map notes. You can only make layer changes if you have an organizational account. Even then, this account would see the whole layer and what has been created.

This sounds more like something you need to create in flex, java or silverlight.

Something like this: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=12e175f3534b4e8e949ef193319b9686
