Unable to start external sharing process - access denied

Anonymous User — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 15:06:27 GMT

I am a publisher within my organization, and I am attempting to Share As Web Layer to AGOL. I get the following error message: "Unable to start external sharing process - access denied (Check UIPI).

Has anyone else seen this, or have suggestions?

I also just encountered this error. I previously shared this map from ArcGIS Pro 2.7 to ArcGIS Online without issues. I have since made edits in Pro including adding fields to a layer, changing the symbology of the same layer, appending features to a different layer, and removing a layer. Everything else is the same. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Try going into "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Staging\<connection_name>" and delete all .sddraft files you find there. We had a lot of those files named the same with only different numbers in brackets. It helped when we deleted them all. The publishing started working again.

We have restarted ArcGIS Pro which resolves the issue.
