Hello,
I meant to give my feedback at the ESRI UC Closing ceremony but ran out of time.
Here is the scenario, we have an external stakeholder who needs to see a map securely, but we don't wish for them to be able to see our AGOL organization in anyway, just simply view the map, app, or story, with some level of password protection and that's it. We don't want to have to pay for someone to have a viewer account each time. We also don't want to have to share any of this information on ArcGIS Online publicly.
What is needed; some sort of password protection for sharing maps, apps, and stories for external stakeholders. They need to be able to quickly view the content and pass it along, with a password. Either a free user type in your AGOL Org, that is strictly for creating a external stakeholder accounts that are simply for viewing, maps, apps, stories with no access to the AGOL home nav page thing, and password protected; or simply an option under sharing settings for the map, app, or story, that says "Share Externally", and a tick box with password protect as an option and then enter the password and hint.
SIMPLE. I have had so many scenarios where a client would like to see a digital map quickly and I don't have the time to go through the insane hassle of setting someone up. I'd also like to share prototypes with teams before deploying and this would greatly help.
Please contact me to discuss this future as I believe this should be a top-priority item. I've been using ArcGIS in one form or another for the past 20 years.
