vSite Admin Portal: Service Access Integration with ArcGIS

Service Access is a Security option chosen during the upload process for an ArcGIS Feature or Scene Service link. This is the preferred and most secure integration method, as it eliminates the need to enter or store credentials within vSite. 

Step 1: Connect to a New or Existing ArcGIS Group

When creating a new Group, or adjusting an existing group settings, navigate to Group Membership and under "Who can be in this group?" check off, "Any organization's members". This will grant access to the email used in vGIS Service Access. If creating a new group, it is best to include your organization's name in the title so that is can be easily identified and accepted. For example, Organization_vGIS_ArcGIS_group. 

Step 2: Add the Desired Datasources to the New/Existing Group

Step 3: Search for vGIS' ArcGIS Membership

Navigate to your main Group and click Invite Members. Make sure the "Search all ArcGIS Online organization members" switch is turned on and search "info@meemim.com". Check off the correct user and Invite. 

Next Steps in the Admin Portal

Once the Group invitation is accepted from a member of the vGIS Team, admins can now connect to their datasources (this will only be needed once). With this setup completed, admins can now select Service Access in the Security field when uploading an ArcGIS datasource.
