Can you block My Organization from being seen in Portal?

Question

I am setting up a secure portal instance where certain datasets are being replicated by a collaboration. And while the sharing and groups are controlling the access; the "My Organization" still shows the core services.

Is there a way to keep that from displaying?

Hi Hilary,

Yes that is the problem; because the service has to be shared to the whole organization; but each group has a restricted web-map that they view. So if the user is able to just go and browse and find the all-encompassing service versus just what they are allowed to see is our concern.

We are trying to get away from building 29 different map-services that then need to be shared in 29 groups.

Hi David,

Are you an administrator by chance? If so, you will be able to see all content under My Organization.

However, users that are not admins will not see these items unless they are shared with 'organization,' 'everyone', or groups that are open to all members.
