Hi, I'd like to create polygons from my line feature class. I used the "Feature to polygon" tool, but the output is creating split polygons when lines overlap, see image example: Here there should be 2 features= 2 rectangles. However the tool has created 5 polygons. Is there a way to correct the output or a way to create the correct output from the line feature class with a different process? Thanks

Hello, It seems that ArcGIS Pro projects can be opened in Arcmap through ArcGIS Online (link below). I'm registered for the cartography MOOC and all the data is provided through ArcGIS Pro projects. Can't esri provide the data this way? Why wouldn't be a formula available for Arcmap users so we can also do the exercises in Arcmap? I can't install ArcGIS Pro at the moment but I still want to do this course in Arcmap. Thanks https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000023367#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20ArcMap%20cannot%20open,article%20describes%20the%20necessary%20steps.

Thanks Cartochien. I knew about the link you shared, but I find the two categories that define capabilities/privileges of an AGOL user rather confusing (what does confer the privileges, the role or the user type?). After your answer, now my question is what is the difference between Creator-Data Editor and Creator-User? Thanks again for your support!

Hello there Can someone help me to understand if there is any difference between an Editor-Data Editor and a Creator-Data Editor? Many thanks

I finally found the solution myself. The problem was even though I am an Administrator, I had to be a member of the groups I wanted to shared the items with again, so once I invited myself to those group, the update of sharing with the group was actually successful.

That's ok, thanks very much for your help anyway! Hi @OwenGeo, do you have any thoughts? Cheers Marina

Thanks David, however these are screenshots of the settings of the two different groups. In red the only setting that is different, does this setting influence the problem discussed here?:

Hello I am trying to unshare items that are shared with the organization (we want items only shared in groups), so I am changing item sharing from "shared with organization" to a owner share level. This process is also unsharing some items with some of the groups the item was shared in before. When I try to recover the previous situation (through changing back to sharing with organization and then adding the groups in which the item was shared in) the process says "completed successfully", the items are shared with the organization again, but the group icon doesn't update with the groups it should be shared with again (and when I look in the groups the items are not shared there yet either). My first question is regarding this last problem is I wonder if the system is taking some time to update this change of if there is a problem with that. And my second question is, why are the items unshared with some groups when I change from sharing with organization to share at an owner level? When I looked for answers this morning I thought the setting of the group may have something to do with that but, once I have changed a setting (Who can view this group? from only group members to everyone in the organization) this doesn't seem to have an influence now. Do you have any thoughts? I'm concerned I am breaking users workflows here with these changes I have made as the items are not shared in the groups where they were before. Thanks

Thanks very much, that's brilliant. I am quite new to AGOL, so I am not fully aware of what level of editability maps and applications have and what is kept when shared in a group. So this is fantastic advise and it makes me redirect my focus now. I really appreciate sticking through this long thread. Thanks so much and enjoy your dinner!

Re: Editor user type workflows · ‎12-03-2020

How do you set up those Editor groups? I only see from settings two options, its all about that setting that you have highlighted, isn't it? . If they can only edit their own items, that means is a "viewer" group (people can only view items shared within the group). The second option, all members will be able to edit other members items. In theory would be suited for an Editor license, but they are not allowed to join! How do you do it? Do you have a different setting structure for creation of groups?

Re: Editor user type workflows · ‎12-03-2020

Thanks again. I clearly haven't worked managing this type of workflow enough yet. So, how do I create an internal group in which Data Editors can join and can edit items that are shared in that group?

Re: Editor user type workflows · ‎12-03-2020

Thanks Chris for your quick reply. Unfortunately, the problem I have is with not being able to invite a Data editor to a group with update capabilities (or shared update group) within my organization. This lack of privilege is even noted in the summary table of roles and privileges here - https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/roles.htm And this is the message I get when I try to assign an Editor license:

Editor user type workflows · ‎12-02-2020

Hi, I was trying to add a member user type Editor to a group with update capabilities and this is not allowed. However, seeing the description of the Editor user type: Editors can view and edit data in ArcGIS maps and apps that are shared with them by other ArcGIS users. This user type is ideal for users who need to access and edit data that is shared with them, using apps created with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder or ArcGIS Configurable Apps. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/roles.htm If Editors can't join groups with update capabilities, what is the workflow left available for them? The can only edit items that are shared with all the organization, outside groups? Thanks

Hi Owen Evans's Blog , I am having trouble myself with this. I am an administrator and wanted to transfer items from a member to out corporate account. Items were shared publicly by the member and shared in a group. The aim was to transfer them to the corporate account and keeping the items shared with the group. But I couldn't transfer the items from the member to our corporate account without unsharing them with the group with update capabilities. What I did is: 1. I unshared items with the group. 2. Moved items to our corporate account. 3. Then tried to share items with the group again, I get a message that it succeeded: 4. BUT: the items don't appear in the list of items of that group after this! I have a list of items an none appear in the group now. Could you help me with this? Thanks
