What types of authentication are supported for ArcGIS Mission? What is the difference between mission owners, mission leads, and mission members in an active mission?
ArcGIS Mission Manager rolesArcGIS Mission
The following sections describe the properties available to ArcGIS Mission Server administrators. Each property is described along with its path, located in the ArcGIS Mission Server administration site by browsing to the URL the ArcGIS Mission Server accountThe ArcGIS Mission Server account defaults to the name arcgis. Accepting this default is sufficient for most nonproduction deployments; however, for production systems, Esri recommends that you create a domain or Active Directory account prior to installing ArcGIS Mission Server.You are allowed to specify a local account or a domain account. You can export the setup configuration file when you install ArcGIS Mission Server on the first machine in your site and use the configuration file when you install ArcGIS Mission Server on the other machines in your site. This ensures that the ArcGIS Mission Server account is configured the same on all the machines in your site.Domain accountA domain account makes it easier to access data on remote systems. A domain account is also preferable for security purposes because the account is centrally managed.When specifying a domain account, use the format DOMAIN\username. If you do not specify the domain, the ArcGIS Mission Server installation wizard creates a local account with the username you specified. If you specify a domain account that does not exist, the installation returns an error. If your login settings deny login rights to the machine where ArcGIS Mission Server is installed, you will encounter an error during the installation. It is not necessary to grant Log on locally What is ArcGIS Mission? What components make up Mission? Is ArcGIS Mission available in ArcGIS Online? Is ArcGIS Mission Manager designed for a specific role? What types of authentication are supported for ArcGIS Mission? What is the difference between mission owners, mission leads, and mission members in an active mission? An ArcGIS Enterprise deployment or in a stand-alone ArcGIS Server site—must use the same password. Site Administrator User NameRequiredProvide a username for the primary site administrator for the ArcGIS Mission Server site. The name must be 6 or more alphanumeric or underscore (_) characters and must start with a letter. Site Administrator User PasswordRequiredProvide a password for the primary site administrator for the ArcGIS Mission Server site. You can type either a plain text password or the ARN of your secret ID from AWS Secrets Manager. The password must be 8 or more alphanumeric characters and can also contain dots (.). The password cannot containany other special characters or spaces. Configuration Store TypeRequired Choose the ArcGIS Mission Server configuration store type. The default is FileSystem.FileSystem—The ArcGIS Mission Server configuration store will be on an EC2 instance (file server).CloudStore—The ArcGIS Mission Server configuration store will be in Amazon DynamoDB and an S3 bucket created by this template.Even if you choose CloudStore, a separate file server is required to host the ArcGIS Mission Server shared directories. You can provide an EC2 instance ID for the ArcGIS File Server Instance ID parameter, or an EC2 instance will be created.ArcGIS File Server Instance IDConditionalIf you used the file share CloudFormation template to create a shared file server for this deployment, provide the ID of that EC2 instance.The configuration store, ArcGIS Server directories will be stored on this instance. ArcGIS File Server Instance TypeConditional Choose an EC2 instance type for the ArcGIS file server. The default instance type is m5.2xlarge.This parameter is required if you do not provide an ID for the ArcGIS File Server Instance ID parameter. ArcGIS File Server Instance Root Drive Disk SpaceConditional The size of the root drive disk space for the ArcGIS file server EC2 instance. Provide the size of the root drive in GB. The default is 500 GB. Minimum is 200 GB. Maximum is 4096 GB.This parameter is required if you do not provide an ID for the ArcGIS File Server Instance ID parameter. Web Adaptor NameOptional To use ArcGIS Web Adaptor with the ArcGIS Mission Server site, type a web adaptor name. Access to the ArcGIS Mission Server site will be through a URL in the format The name must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters. Leave this parameter value empty if you do not want to use ArcGIS Web Adaptor, and URLs forComments

The logical ID of the resource is AutoScalingGroup. Although it is technically possible to change the AWS Auto Scaling group size to zero, keep at least one instance running in the Auto Scaling group; otherwise, the ArcGIS Mission Server site may not function properly. Once you change the capacity of the group, it may take up to an hour to add machines or up to 15 minutes to remove machines. Once the change is applied, use the ArcGIS Server administrator API to confirm that the number of machines in the ArcGIS Mission Server site has increased or decreased appropriately.ArcGIS Server sites created with this template have the suspendedMachineUnregisterThreshold property disabled, which means machines in the site are not automatically unregistered if they are inactive. After you deploy the site, you can alter the suspendedMachineUnregisterThreshold value in the ArcGIS REST API for the ArcGIS Server site to define the time period of inactivity (in minutes) after which a machine will be unregistered from the site. See System Properties in the developer help for information about setting this property for an ArcGIS Mission Server site.Do not delete any AWS resource created by this CloudFormation template. To find out what AWS resources have been created by this template, refer to the Resources tab of the stack in the AWS Management Console. Each resource created by an Esri CloudFormation template also has metadata tags. However, some of the resources do not show tags in the AWS Management Console.ArcGIS Mission Server sites are always federated servers (not stand-alone sites). You can use any of the following templates to create an ArcGIS Enterprise portal with which to federate the ArcGIS Mission Server site:ArcGIS Enterprise components on a single machineArcGIS Enterprise components duplicated on two machines for high availabilitySingle machine Portal for ArcGISPortal for ArcGIS on two machines for high availabilityOnce you have a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and have created the ArcGIS Mission Server site, use the federation template to federate the ArcGIS Mission Server site with the portal. If you use AWS Secrets Manager for passwords, such as the site administrator user password or the Windows arcgis user password, and later (after you create the deployment) you change those passwords, update the appropriate AWS Secrets
