When added to a web map in ArcGIS Online using the Add Layer from Web option, ArcGIS for Server Web Map Service (WMS) refers to the map server and not the WMS capability.

Description

When adding an ArcGIS Server service published with WMS capability directly into the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, the operations followed while working on the service correspond to the Map Server rather than WMS Server. 

Cause

As per the standards of the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer's Java Script API, an ArcGIS Server service published with WMS capability behaves like a Map Server when added directly into it. This is due to the fact that when added directly into the Map Viewer, the Java Script API recognizes the service as an internal service and behaves in this way. 

Workaround

The workaround is to add the ArcGIS Server WMS Service as an item in ArcGIS Online and then add it into the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.
