Viewer User Geocoding in Portal

PatrickMcKinney99

I have successfully tested a "Viewer" user geocoding a table of addresses in Portal for ArcGIS.  As a "Viewer" user-type cannot save content, I was wondering what is the nature of the geocoded layer that is added to the map?

Is it a temporary layer saved in browser memory?

Is the geocoded layer stored somewhere obscure in Portal or the Data Store?

Thanks for any insights you can provide!

@PatrickMcKinney99 Thank you for providing the workflow you are using. It took a bit for me to find the name, but when you add a csv directly to the map, like in your workflow a feature collection layer is created in the map. These type of layers are only stored in the map and cannot be shared outside of the map. It is the generate request that creates it.

Viewer role:

Viewer—View items such as maps, apps, demographics, and elevation analysis layers that have been shared by other ArcGIS users. Those assigned the Viewer role can join groups owned by the organization, as well as use geocoding, geosearch, and network analysis (routing and directions). Members assigned the Viewer role cannot create or share content or perform analysis or data enrichment.

I hope this information helps.
