I created feature layers in bulk using user-managed datastores that have 'write' credentials to the database schema and by default the feature services have editing off....but....if I'm signed in to the Portal in ArcGIS Pro as 'creator' I'm able to edit and save with that feature service. I feel like the feature service should have control of the editing capabilities. It clearly doesn't in this case. Am I missing something?
This is on newly installed 11.4 Portal/Server.
ESRI documentation says:
Ensure that the privileges granted to the user specified in the database connection are appropriate for each dataset.
When you create feature layers in bulk, editing is not enabled on the layers. However, you can enable editing on the feature service in ArcGIS Server Manager or from the portal. If no one should edit data through these bulk-published feature layers, connect to the database as a user who has only privileges to select data from the feature classes and tables, and do not enable editing on the feature service.
I feel like you used to be able to publish with a database connection file that had write privileges but control editing on the service level. If I was to follow this...I'd have to separately publish new feature services for editing and read-only?!?
