Survey123 supports common security models that are used by ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. For an overview of the security capabilities available for ArcGIS components, as well as current best practices, see ArcGIS security.
Typically, users sign in by typing a username and password. Some organizations may require users to use alternative sign-in methods that include additional security. Security models supported by Survey123 include the following:
- Built-in authentication—This method requires the user to type an ArcGIS organizational username and password.
- Enterprise logins—For more information, see Set up SAML logins.
- Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA)—For more information, see Use Integrated Windows Authentication.
- Social logins—For more information, see Configure security settings for ArcGIS Online or Configure security settings for ArcGIS Enterprise.
Note:
For web tier authentication and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) logins, direct sign in is supported.
The Survey123 field app and Survey123 Connect also support Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The sign-in method differs based on how PKI secures ArcGIS Enterprise.
When typical sign in does not work, signing in via a web browser that is external to Survey123 can be used.
