About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS
You can bring ArcGIS data into your model without having an ArcGIS account. However, to publish to ArcGIS or to save back your changes to ArcGIS, you must have an ArcGIS account and be assigned a role that has certain privileges.
See the ArcGIS Online Help for information about user types, roles, and privileges.
