Why Esri_anonimous ?

[ionarawilson1]

I am creating a python toolbox that will be used when the user edit a feature service. I created fields to enable editor tracking. I want users to be able to identify who created or edited the features. When I finished running the tool on the copy of the feature service I see the correct creator name (iwilson, my windows username), but after syncronizing the edits with the server the creator and editor fields change to blank , the creation date and last edit time change to 12:00:00 am. When I create a local copy again, the creator and editor fields are  "Esri_anonymous" and the database used to create the feature also shows Esri_anonymous instead of iwilson. Why is this happening and how can I keep iwilson permanently in the feature service and database?

I am attaching pictures of my service properties and a feature table. Thank you for any help!!!

So, in my case that they are editing the features through a service, do I still need to do the first two steps (described below) or just the other steps (1-4)?

1. Add their windows account to SQL Server
2. Grant their account UPDATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE privileges using the Change Privileges tool

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

You will just need to do Steps 1-4.

Cool, and more thing: Is it possible to define who is going to edit, update and delete in ArcGIS server manager then? Because if I don't set privileges using the Change Privileges tool, I would need to have another way of setting those up. Thank you again!!!

And actually for the problem of being blank after syncronization, the ArcGIS is 10.1 but the ArcSDE is 10.0. Should that be the problem ?

I will just start a new thread with that last question. Thanks!
