ESRI Maps for Sharepoint run mode - AGOL Sign In

[StevenGraf1]

Do users that have access to Run Mode have to have an ArcGIS Online account to sign in with since all they are doing is interacting with the map?

I didn't see this referenced in the ESRI Maps for SharePoint material.

Thanks,

I assume they do because they have the ability to share maps across your organization.

Hi.  Is there a definitive answer to this?  We're thinking we'd use Esri Maps for SharePoint web parts to develop maps for others to use.  And those "others" could number in the thousands.  That's not likely feasible if each viewer needs an agol account.

Thanks,

I forgot to answer my own question.  I put in an ESRI ticket for this one because I didn't get a response on the forums and this is what they said

Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0.1 requires that you have either an ArcGIS Online organization account or a named user in Portal for ArcGIS.  This is true for run mode or edit mode in the Esri Maps Web Part. 

Thanks for replying to remind me!

Hi.  Thanks for the information.  And darn, that's a deal-breaker for us.

Hello,

I believe this post answers my question but I want to make sure the same applies to Beta 4....

Is the only way we can have someone "view" a map in SharePoint [2013] is to have that user as a named user within our AGOL account or Portal?

We would like to share our data to hundreds of users and we can not support this many named users - are we forced to develop our own solution?

Hi Drew,

Yes, Esri Maps for SharePoint 4.0 will still require that you have either an ArcGIS Organization account or a named user in Portal for ArcGIS.
