Esri EAEP2201 Exam - Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Esri's EAEP2201 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 1

A GIS administrator publishes a feature service that references user-managed data. The administrator wants users to add new features. Users should not make changes to attributes of existing features or delete features.

Which feature service operations should be set?

AUpdate and sync

BCreate and query

CExtract and create

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To allow users to add new features without the ability to modify or delete existing ones, the feature service should have the 'Create' and 'Query' operations enabled. The 'Create' operation permits users to add new features, while the 'Query' operation allows them to view existing features. By not enabling the 'Update' and 'Delete' operations, users are restricted from making changes to or removing existing features. This configuration is ideal for workflows where data integrity is crucial, and only the addition of new data is permitted.

Enabling 'Update and sync' (Option A) would allow users to modify existing features and synchronize changes, which is not desired in this scenario. 'Extract and create' (Option C) is not a standard combination of operations for controlling editing permissions in feature services.

Haha, I bet the GIS admin is just hoping the users don't accidentally delete everything. B) is definitely the safest option.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Wouldn't C) Extract and create also work since it allows creating new features?

I agree, allowing users to add new features while preventing them from modifying existing ones sounds like the perfect use case for B.

I thought about C) Extract and create, but that doesn't seem to fit the requirement of not allowing changes to existing features.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about limiting operations in a similar practice question. Maybe A) Update and sync could be relevant?

Hmm, I'm not totally sure. I'm leaning towards B, but I want to double-check that users really can't do any updates or deletions. I don't want to miss something important.

I'm pretty confident this is option B. The question is specifically asking about the feature service operations, and create and query seems to match the requirements the best.

I'm a little confused on the difference between the options. Can users update existing features at all, or is it just creating new ones that's allowed? I'll need to review the details more closely.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that users should only be able to add new features, not modify or delete existing ones. So I'd go with option B - create and query.
