Drone2Map allows you to create Digital Surface Models (DSM's). The value of Drone2Map is that the DSM's get automatically uploaded to your Portal or ArcGIS Online. Unfortunately you can't load the DSM's directly into a new web scene as a surface layer. Currently you have to add the DSM into ArcGIS PRO first and publish a web scene before you can then use the DSM as a source of elevation within the scene viewer. See: http://server.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/use/get-started-scenes.htm It would be more productive if you could publish your DSM to Portal or ArcGIS Online from Drone2Map and for that surface to be useable as an elevation source immediately within the scene viewer, without the need to take the DSM back into PRO first. The whole idea of Drone2Map is to get data from the drone to be useful within the rest of the ArcGIS platform as quickly as possible. Having to use two different parts of the ArcGIS Platform in order to make use of the elevation data captured from the drone within the scene viewer could be made more efficient. It would seem that if the DSM is already uploaded to the portal by Drone2Map then then the scene viewer should be able to leverage that DSM as soon as its uploaded. ... View more

Currently Esri Maps for SharePoint requires you to log in to one particular portal that has been configured for the SharePoint server. This is either ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. This is set up at install time. If we have multiple portals set up across our organisation but only one SharePoint server, we would like users across our business to be able to log into Esri Maps for SharePoint in SharePoint using their existing Portal Named user account. We don't want to have to set up duplicate named user accounts in multiple portals in order for users to be able to log into Esri Maps for sharepoint.  A users ArcGIS identity should work across the whole platform. ...
