MobileMap (and InventoryManager) are built upon ArcGIS system and require ArcGIS user accounts for authentication and all data access. All users must have an ArcGIS account, therefore. ArcGIS user accounts can be AGOL accounts (including AGOL access provided with ArcGIS GIS Professional Basic/Standar/Advanced licences), Portal accounts, or limited ArcGIS user accounts purchased from MB&GWSG. This third option is only relevant for clients that want to use MobileMap but are not Esri customers and are not interested in broader access to the ArcGIS system.

When evaluating MobileMap within your organization, there are three possible scenarios for gaining access to a demo feature service.
MB&G WSG publishes a service, creates a new AGOL group, and invites client AGOL users to join this group
MB&G WSG publishes a service, creates a new AGOL group, and provides client with temporary MB&G WSG AGOL user account(s) for a short evaluation period
MB&G WSG provides the materials needed to publish a service (data model, file geodatabase, map document/project file, documentation) and supports client in publishing a service, creating a new AGOL group, and inviting at least one MB&G WSG user to join this group.
Production
The pattern for deployment into production with ArcGIS Online is very similar to testing scenario 3 above, where MB&G WSG provides the materials needed to publish a service (data model, file geodatabase, map document/project file, documentation) and supports client in publishing a service, creating a new AGOL group, and inviting at least one MB&G WSG user to join this group. The only difference is that this may follow testing scenario 1 or 2 in which the data model was developed and tested within MB&G’s WSG’s AGOL organizational account. MB&G WSG cannot host production feature services for our clients unless we are also providing ArcGIS user accounts.
