Problem

At a minimum, what ArcMap features and functionality need to be enabled (given permission to) in order for integration with WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS or HAMMER to work correctly?

Background

ArcMap has the ability to enable or disable specific buttons, features and functionality via an exposed API. This can be served out to users for example via roles, in some cases using Citrix. Here is a reference list of some (but not all) functionality:

Solution

Currently WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS and HAMMER require full access/permission to all ArcMap functionality in order to safely ensure that our integration works properly. Only the Basic (ArcView) license level is required for WaterGEMS integration to work properly (as a minimum requirement). Standard (ArcEditor) or Advanced (ArcInfo) is only required if you need to access additional ArcGIS functionality in your WaterGEMS for ArcMap session.

Although we recognize the benefit of limiting access to functionality that is not required, it would be very difficult to determine and maintain a list of the exact/specific features/buttons/functionality in ArcMap that is required at a minimum in order for WaterGEMS integration to work properly.
