Just jumping in to share my thoughts: The type of permissions you need to grant depends on what type of database you are using and what type of authentication you are using to connect (database auth, or OS auth). please see the details in the following Esri doc: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/install/windows/making-your-data-accessible-to-arcgis-server.htm#GUID-58A12575-36EC-4FD1-A5D8-A34FBE957736 At the geodatabase level, normally you'll need 3 geodatabase roles: creator, editor and reader. creator - very few db users should be assigned this role. editor -  only the db users who need to edit data should be assigned this role reader -  most of the db users  ...

I'd suggest testing if you can download the map with an administrator role to rule out portal user permission issues. your data connection needs at least data editor permission on the geodatabase to take map offline even if you are only referencing the data. Then we have a list of things to check:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/prepare-feature-layer-data-for-offline.htm https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/11.3/publish-services/windows/prepare-data-for-offline-use.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_CDC34577197B43A980E4B5021DB1C32A https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.3/use/take-maps-offline.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C0331D55CAE14D4FAB1B54354A9246F2 If you go through all these, there's a good chance you'll get the issue fixed...

Thanks @MarleyGeddes for the clarification, that makes lots of sense now 🙂 ... View more

There must be a way to prevent people from licensing ArcGIS Pro from the staging environment. The mechanism in ArcGIS 11.3 and previous version was the LM which was used to license ArcGIS Pro and normally was registered in the production portal, and working together to provide the named-user ArcGIS Pro licensing. With the release of 11.4, some user types come with ArcGIS Pro licenses, and LM is not required for ArcGIS Enterprise to provide named-user licenses, which means ArcGIS Pro named user license is provided purely via Portal license， will that double the number of Pro license the client have paid for if the same portal license can be used for a lower environment？  It will be great to get some clarifications on this, before moving to 11.4. ...

What's the error message when you publish the spatial view as a sync-enabled feature service? If you can't use Archiving, you can try versioned view. To be able to take the feature service offline, I remember the data needs to be from the same enterprise geodatabase. Please see if the following resource helps: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.3/help/data/geodatabases/overview/prepare-feature-layer-data-for-offline.htm     ... View more

Check the portal for ArcGIS account permissions: At a minimum, this account must be granted the following privileges: \arcgis\portal*—Read, write, and execute \arcgisportal—Full control Please see details using the following link: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.3/administer/windows/the-portal-for-arcgis-account.htm   ...

when you buy a License for your ArcGIS product, you normally pay for the software license and 12 months maintenance. Say you buy a permanent / perpetual ArcGIS Pro basic license with 12 month maintenance which give you some benefits, for example:     After 12 months, you can choose to renew maintenance or not,  and your software will continue to work regardless, but you'll lose some benefits listed above. This applies to most of Esri products. Do talk to your local Esri Sales, they'll explain it Primary and Secondary maintenance, it's just different level of support I suppose, not sure they are still sold separately -  Esri license can be complicated  😛 ...

Hi, Re "Portal for ArcGIS is intermittently logging users out" This doesn't sound right, could you contact Esri Support to check the authentication? will the performance be better if you use the ArcGIS built-in account?  You need to make sure the platform is working before looking into the performance issue. Regards, Simo ... View more

I had the same question and I was told that sde-schema has a better security gesture and it's always the preferred schema. To be honest, I installed EGDBs using both dbo-schema and sde-schema in MS Azure SQL MI, both EGDBs seemingly work fine... but I didn't do an exhaustive test. Since it's explicitly listed as "Limitations" in 11.4 document now, I won't risk using dbo-schema for production in any cloud-based MS SQL database. This will make sure I'll get the tech support if anything happens.   ... View more

ah.. just remember @JakeSkinner  had a great post about migrating content from one environment to another, please check it out: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-documents/migrate-content-for-arcgis-enterprise-arcgis/ta-p/1365455   ... View more

You can publish the single image to ArcGIS server from catalog, if you don't have an image server license. if you need to publish 500 images as a mosaic dataset, you'll need image server license. and you can choose to publish the image service as hosted or non-hosted. The following online document is worth reading: Key concepts for image services—ArcGIS Server | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise the following pdf is bit old, but it's still useful for some high level information. even better if you can find the video for the presentation.
