Adding an ArcGIS Online Layer

DanEstersohn1 — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:17:56 GMT

When I try to "Search for Layers" from my AGO organization, the choice of ArcGIS Online is not available in the "In" drop down box. My only choice are:

My Organization

A GIS Server
Living Atlas Layers

None of these choices get me to the layers I want (i.e. the Red Rock Canyon Trails for ArcGISBook, Chapter 4 Lesson).

Hi Dan,

Have you tried this in any other browsers? Have you tried clearing the browser cache?

You mean that you are logged on to your organization and when you want to add a layer from ArcGIS Online the option is not there. I think I can reproduce this... If I log on to the organization and create a new map to which I want to add the layer I see the options; My Organization, A GIS Server and the Living Atlas (sorry for the Spanish interface):

If I log out and try again I see that the ArcGIS Online option appears:

... and it finds the layer:

What you could do is search for the layer on arcgis.com where you find the item:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c996394d2ca74c038f00e6bc15a9663c

There you can add the layer to the current map (and this time sorry for the Dutch interface... yeah, don't ask):

What you should check with the administrator of you ArcGIS Online for Organizations is the Security setting of the site (once again sorry for the Spanish interface):

Maybe in Share and Search the second option is switched off, which allows users to search content outside the organization. Could you check this setting?

Thank you Xander. Changing the security settings worked.
