System requirements

There are certain browser and software requirements to run each element of Survey123.

Online requirements

Online connectivity is needed to access the Survey123 API and ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. For this reason, a connection to the internet and access to either ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise are required for Survey123 Connect and the Survey123 website, as well as for the Survey123 field app to download and submit surveys.

ArcGIS requirements

ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 and later are supported. For more information about ArcGIS Enterprise, see Use Survey123 with ArcGIS Enterprise.

The various user types and roles in ArcGIS organizations have access to different features of ArcGIS Survey123. You can also use ArcGIS roles to restrict privileges that are initially included with a user type. For example, if a Creator user type is assigned a User role, its privileges to publish feature layers are revoked. Similarly, if a Mobile Worker user type is assigned a Viewer role, its privileges will be similar to those of a Viewer user type. For more information, see User types, roles, and privileges for ArcGIS Online or User types, roles, and privileges for ArcGIS Enterprise.

The following table describes which features of Survey123 each user type can access:
