You must create user credentials if your map providers require a specific user account to access their data. When a user logs into a ViewApp, the user can see those map layers in which credentials have been assigned. A layer is hidden from the user if a credential has not been assigned.
For more information about setting user credentials, see Configuring Security in the Application Server Help.
Important: Some map providers do not require user credentials to access their data. In that case, the prerequisite task to create user credentials can be ignored.
