If I understand your question correctly, all client interactions with PlayFab - aside from login and password reset - do require a signed-in user. In the case of third-party services integrated with PlayFab, the answer varies. For example, with our Kochava integration, there is nothing special you need to do on the client - no SDK to install or API calls to make. Your login to PlayFab already gives us the information needed, so we take care of communicating that event info to Kochava. If you want to use their dashboard then to evaluate your ad campaigns, you would need to sign into Kochava, using the login information we provide.

Example : user buys premium version of the game where all the game levels are unlocked . When there is no internet , do the unlocked levels remain that way ?

What we provide is a complete live operations platform for your games, so while we can give you all the functionality you need for connected clients, you'll need to decide how you want to handle offline play. You could simply save some information locally concerning what the player has purchased in terms of levels, though that would be relatively easy to crack on a hacked client. Basically, when it comes to offline security, you'll need to decide how much you want to invest in security. If the data and logic for the levels is on the local client, and the check for whether it is unlocked is on the client, there is realistically no way to stop a technically savvy user from cracking that. The usual target most titles set for this is to make sure that the average user can't easily "cheat" the game in this manner.
