Server isn’t really designed to be used that way. If you’re just trying to 
provide access to the underlying python libraries that ArcGIS uses then you 
should install Desktop and the Background Geoprocessing tools. With server you 
author and publish tools that others can consume through ArcGIS Server API’s 
and/or ArcGIS Desktop.

Subject: [UW-GIS-L] ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise for multiple local users

Hi everyone,

We have a group of 20-ish researchers looking to use the ArcGIS Server Advanced 
Enterprise 10.5.1 “arcpy” Python packages for local jobs to be run on our HPC 
cluster.

After working through the install and licensing (with much thanks to Luke 
Rogers!), we are hitting a new issue: it seems ArcGIS Server only wants to be 
ran by the local user it was installed as. This is under Ubuntu 14.04.

I read over the install docs and over all of the options you can send to the 
“Setup” program, but didn’t see anything about enabling support for multiple 
local users.

Does anyone know how to get around problems like this:

/arcgis/server/tools/python fails because the login name does not match the 
“install owner”

(this is just a bash shell script wrapper, so we commented that check out, 
which we’d prefer not to do)

but even with that check commented out, we get this same check in other places:

wine: /opt/arcgis/server/framework/runtime/.wine is not owned by you

so even manually editing out the check seems futile.

The goal is to have ArcGIS Server (specifically the arcgy Python Module) 
available for multiple users from a single install.

If this is not possible, do we have to do installs for each user who wants to 
use arcgy? This would likely make HPC use of arcgy not feasible for us.

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!
