Basically I don't want to "hijack" and take over the user's active portal (i.e. the one setup by the user through the Pro UI) because it could be their company's own portal and it's useful to them in session. I want my code to be able to login to a portal different from the user's active one (their company's portal) and do some things without affecting the user's portal that they currently think they are still connected to in that session. So if I did some code like this: var someOtherCompanyP ortal = ArcGISPortalManager.Current.AddPortal( someOtherCompany Uri ); ArcGISPortalManager.Current.SetActivePortal( someOtherCompanyP ortal );var someOtherCompanyUri = new Uri("http://someothercompany.com/portal/", UriKind.Absolute); Will this change the user's active portal that was setup up by them through the standard UI of ArcGIS Pro? Effectively kicking them off their company's portal say? If it does, is there a way to get round this?

Hi Simon, Charlie is out of town so i looked at your issue and found the following: I you search on a portal, let's call this portal 'X', that is not the 'active' portal, let's call the active portal 'Y', the search on portal 'X' works as long as you are signed in on portal 'X'. So far so good. In my sample i am searching and finding a 'Portal Feature Layer' on my portal 'X' (a local Enterprise portal), however, my active portal 'Y' is ArcGIS Online. Below is a screen shot of the portal 'X' item i am trying to add to my map: Your code snippet above is correct, as you have to first create an Item using 'ItemFactory.Instance.Create' by passing in the portal 'X' item's ID and eventually you call 'LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer' by passing in that item created by item factory. However, it turns out that both methods: ItemFactory.Instance.Create and LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer will not work if the portal 'X' is not the active portal. You can actually observe the same behavior if you take the portal URL of your portal 'X' item and try to add it to your map manually through the 'Add Data from Path' dialog: You will get this error if Portal 'X' is not the active portal. If you change Portal 'X' to be the active portal temporarily then 'Add Data from Path' works fine. So this led me to the following workaround for this issue - by simply changing Portal 'X' to be the active portal until the layer has been created, then restoring the original active portal: private async Task SignInAsync ( ArcGISPortal nonActivePortal ) { var signInResult = await nonActivePortal . SignInAsync ( ) ; var pqp = PortalQueryParameters . CreateForItemsOfType ( PortalItemType . Layer , "title:fooLayerTitle" ) ; PortalQueryResultSet PortalItem > results = await ArcGISPortalExtensions . SearchForContentAsync ( nonActivePortal , pqp ) ; //Get the first result var myPortalItem = results . Results ? . OfType PortalItem > ( ) . FirstOrDefault ( ) ; FeatureLayer featureLayer = null ; Item testLayer = ItemFactory . Instance . Create ( myPortalItem . ID , ItemFactory . ItemType . PortalItem ) ; // let's try to change the active portal var currentActivePortal = ArcGISPortalManager . Current . GetActivePortal ( ) ; if ( testLayer == null && nonActivePortal != currentActivePortal ) { ArcGISPortalManager . Current . SetActivePortal ( nonActivePortal ) ; testLayer = ItemFactory . Instance . Create ( myPortalItem . ID , ItemFactory . ItemType . PortalItem ) ; } if ( LayerFactory . Instance . CanCreateLayerFrom ( testLayer ) ) { await QueuedTask . Run ( ( ) = > { featureLayer = LayerFactory . Instance . CreateLayer ( testLayer , MapView . Active . Map , 0 ) as FeatureLayer ; } ) ; } // reset the original active portal if ( nonActivePortal != currentActivePortal ) ArcGISPortalManager . Current . SetActivePortal ( currentActivePortal ) ; } i will bring this issue to the attention of our development group. For the time being see if the workaround will suffice. - Wolf

If a user is already logged into a Portal will my code override their currently active Portal?

Basically I don't want to "hijack" and take over the user's active portal (i.e. the one setup by the user through the Pro UI) because it could be their company's own portal and it's useful to them in session. I want my code to be able to login to a portal different from the user's active one (their company's portal) and do some things without affecting the user's portal that they currently think they are still connected to in that session.

So if I did some code like this:

var <SPAN>someOtherCompanyP</SPAN>ortal = ArcGISPortalManager.Current.AddPortal(<SPAN>someOtherCompany</SPAN><SPAN>Uri</SPAN>);
ArcGISPortalManager.Current.SetActivePortal(<SPAN>someOtherCompanyP</SPAN><SPAN>ortal</SPAN>);var someOtherCompanyUri = new Uri("http://someothercompany.com/portal/", UriKind.Absolute);

Will this change the user's active portal that was setup up by them through the standard UI of ArcGIS Pro? Effectively kicking them off their company's portal say?

If it does, is there a way to get round this?

Assuming you have a portal instance (eg via GetPortal from the ArcGISPortalManager), you could use its SignInAsync method to sign in. This will prompt for credentials with the sign-in window unless they have been previously cached (eg, via a preceding connection).

If you need a token for REST requests then call GetToken to get the token.

Vidar

OK - I do have a portal instance with credentials that I want the user to use (let's say I've sent these details and credentials in an email) - if after they have signed in via the sign-in window, will this kick them off the Portal they were just using?

CharlesMacleod

No. The active portal will remain the active portal

Vidar

The SignInAsync() doesn't allow me to add any content into Pro (i.e. a feature layer) from "someothercompany" portal - (for simplicity I have passed the unique id of the layer) see code below:

<CODE>public static async Task AddAGOLTestLayer(string layerId) {   Item testLayer = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(layerId, ItemFactory.ItemType.PortalItem);   await QueuedTask.Run(() =>   {     if (LayerFactory.Instance.CanCreateLayerFrom(testLayer))     LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer<CODE> (testLayer, MapView.Active.Map, 0) as <CODE>FeatureLayer;   });

}

The only way I can get the code to work above is by setting the Active Portal to "someothercompany" - but, as my original question outlines, I don't want to do that. I just thought I would try it to make sure that was the case

So what actual functionality do you have when using the SignInAsync() method?

Can I add data to Pro without setting the Active Portal? Or is it just searching for content or something?

To get the behaviour I want would I have to cache the object/details of the currently active portal - switch into "someothercompany" portal, make it active add content etc, then switch back to cached portal. Seems cluncky though.

Do I have to start calling rest endpoints to get content into Pro using EsriHttpClient instead of using code like above? This I suspect is more involved than just using out of the box api calls like above.
