You should avoid iterating the list of permitted accounts. It's an expensive approach that doesn't scale and it has a lot of moving parts.
Consider instead using a mapping. This is a namespace where all the uninitialized indexes return false, 0, empty, depending on type. For example:
mapping(address => bool) public whitelist; returns true or false for ...

Short answer is that you can't see revert messages in etherscan.io.
If you can reproduce this on ganache, ganache will provide the revert message.
Beyond that you'd have to share the code, or even better verify it on etherscan (Ropsten) if you wanted help debugging.

It is not used in node.js or server side implementation. For server side, you have to unlock accounts using private keys, etc.
