Servus altogether,

at the moment, AGOL Admins can just switch Esri Access on or off for new users. There should be a third option: "Let the User decide"...

As Esri Access is sort of a privacy issue in some regions (e. g. European Union), users should have the opportunity to voluntarily decide wether or not they would like to activate (or de-activate, see below) this feature. Then, this is no longer the administators' business...

There should be also an opportunity to activate user-decided-Esri-Accerss for existing users.

And, there should also be an option for a user to de-activate Esri-Access, as this would fulfill the privacy regulations of EU...

Happy GISing
Martin

  • Agreed. The current suggested solution is to alert the users with disclaimers if Esri Access is enabled, but leaving the choice to the user is much better and more scalable in the event many users wish to opt out.
