Trouble Sharing Map

HelenElston — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 22:13:42 GMT

HI All,

I am having issues with being able to share a map that I created from 2 layers sourced from ArcGIS Online. Both layers indicate that they are shared to Everyone (Public) and I have updated my map to the same sharing setting. When I share the link the user is being prompted to sign in.

I'm in my second week of this class so I could easily be missing something. Thanks in advance.

Helen

Hello @HelenElston, could it be that your ArcGIS Online is configured to not allow anonymous access (?). This is a setting that might be updated by your ArcGIS Online administrator(s).

@HelenElston, if the webmap and content is public it may indeed be the org setting that @RClavero mentioned. An easy way to share the content is to remove the organization from the URL. For example,
https://exampleorg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=123456789

would just be https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html ?webmap=123456789

give that a try, hope it works!
