Hi Scott, you make the point that “The name “Web Editor” says it all – data editing is the focus, it’s not a secondary activity.” so is there any reason this is not available for those with a Contributor or Mobile Worker licence? The app looks great but it’s a bit odd that it has been introduced at a point when a Creator now comes with access to ArcGIS Pro so it seems like this would be perfect for those that don’t have access to the desktop software. Thanks

I’ll second this. Real oversight to lock mobile workers out, who would likely be one of the biggest users!

Hi Scott and rest of ESRI,
this is really ESRI in a nutshell again when it comes to licensing. Mobile workers (on mobile worker license) need access to this. It is exactly those users that need a simpler tool then ArcGIS desktop (Pro) and a flow that only adresses their work to be done. Simple, in terms of as both cost and functionality effective.
Typically the mobile workers works outside in the field parts of the year and other parts of the year in the office – seasons you know?

We need this tool to be made available to those who have a mobile worker license. The majority of the users in my organization who need this functionality are mobile workers. We cannot afford to make everyone in my organization a “Creator.” These tools are standard editing capabilities that should be included across the board.

@Scott, is there a technical reason why ArcGIS Web Editor is only available to Creators or higher? Seems like it really should be for Editor/Contributor user types.
