Control Editing Functions based on User in Field Maps

Question

I feel like I know the answer to this already but I want to check as I'm still newer to using Field Maps editing capabilities.

Is it possible to control what a specific user can do when it comes to editing features?

My use case: I currently have two maps set up for a tree planting and maintenance program. One is used by the Supervisors and has full permissions to add/update/delete the assignments layer I have created. The other is for the workers, initially it was set up as a map for an external contractor for planting, so locking it down as much as I possibly can, it is locked to update attributes only. It's now also being used by our city crews for watering and such, I've been asked to allow the city crews to add new assignments as well.

Is it possible in that one worker map to allow our internal users to add features, but lock the contractor account to only update attributes? Or am I stuck allowing all users of that Field Map to add features, or creating a new map as my options?

Hi @HannesVogel

This is what I ended up doing, separate maps with separate sharing and permissions. I was hoping there was potential to avoid having a bunch of duplicate maps to maintain (especially when the symbology resets any time I update the Arcade expression it uses) but I understand why there isn't a way to do this.

Hi @RobertAnderson3 , you can set up different groups in your ArcGIS Organization and share different maps with different feature services with different editing permissions based on the same darasource. To handle different permissions within one map in one group is not possible afaik.
