Is there way to edit webmap that is shared for you?

Question

Hi,

Is there way to give editing rights to WebMap for other users? Let's say that I create a webmap, add 2 layers and share that to one group. Then I go to holidays and we would need to add 1 layer more to the webmap by my co-workers.

I know that we can change ownership of the webmap and then make changes but that needs administrator rights. What I would like to do is to define set of users who have full editing priviledges to the webmap (layers, tools, ArcGIS Online item, sharing...)

Hi David,

You can accomplish this by creating a custom role.  You can apply 'Update' for Content under Administrative Privileges.

I too would like to know if this is possible. It seems that someone posted it as an Idea: https://c.na9.visual.force.com/apex/ideaView?id=087E00000004pEhIAI‌ but that's been merged into a larger issue. Requiring a change of ownership in order to edit a webmap is clumsy, and it doesn't seem that anything has improved in the year since you first posted this question. That's too bad. I'd love to know when/if this feature is implemented.
