Generating a list of all publicly shared feature services with the editing capabilities turned on in our Portal

JennieCatalano1 — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 22:35:00 GMT

I'm looking for a way to find all the Feature Layers in our Portal that are shared publicly (with everyone) and have editing capabilities enabled. I'm using Jupyter notebook and Portal 10.8.1.

Hi @JennieCatalano1
The code sample here is a good guide for how to search for "FeatureService" from a Jupyter notebook:
https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/accessing-and-creating-content/

Also, from the API for Python doco, adding here link to the "Item" class property "shared_with" which can indicate how the Feature Service item is shared: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html?highlight=item#arcgis.gis.Item.shared_with

So, the typical workflow would be to query Portal content and get all feature services, then loop over the list and find which is shared publicly.

@JennieCatalano1 ,

The following code snippet extracts a list of publicly shared items which are also editable:

items = gis.content.search("*", item_type='Feature Service', max_items=1000, outside_org=True,) for item in items: try: layers = item.layers if 'Editing' in layers[0].properties.capabilities: print(f"Editable Layer: {item.title}, Capabilities: {layers[0].properties.capabilities}, Share Type: {item.shared_with}") continue except: pass

This is set to 1000 items and you can also change it.

I hope that's helpful.
