Do I need an ArcGIS Identity to use VertiGIS Studio Reporting Designer?

An ArcGIS Identity with the ability to create content within Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS

Online is required to sign in to VertiGIS Studio Reporting Designer, to enable access to save and share report templates, but it’s not necessarily required to generate a report from a template. For ArcGIS Online, the Identity used to access VertiGIS Studio Reporting Designer does not need to be an organizational account, it can be a free, public account.
