validateAppAccess

Function

Validates that the user has access to the application and if they user should be presented a "View Only" mode

This is only needed/valid for Esri applications that are "licensed" and shipped in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. Most custom applications should not need or use this.

import { validateAppAccess } from '@esri/arcgis-rest-auth';

return validateAppAccess('your-token', 'theClientId')
.then((result) => {
   if (!result.value) {
     // redirect or show some other ui
   } else {
     if (result.viewOnlyUserTypeApp) {
       // use this to inform your app to show a "View Only" mode
     }
   }
})
.catch((err) => {
 // two possible errors
 // invalid clientId: {"error":{"code":400,"messageCode":"GWM_0007","message":"Invalid request","details":[]}}
 // invalid token: {"error":{"code":498,"message":"Invalid token.","details":[]}}
})

Note: This is only usable by Esri applications hosted on *arcgis.com, *esri.com or within an ArcGIS Enterprise installation. Custom applications can not use this.
