Cannot create feature class in a schema other than sde

Hi, I have a user other than sde ( example :view_user) and I want to create a new featureclass in Postgresql sde with view_user.

I set the owner of sde as view_user .After setting the necessary permissions on the Postgresql side, I was able to edit the existing data, but I cannot create a featureclass for the sde. As you can see in the attachment, I get the error "database user name and current user schema do not match".

When I add a enterprise geodatadase from ArcGIS Pro, it automatically adds it to the application with the sde schema. Is it possible to call a schema other than the sde schema in ArcGIS Pro?

How can we ensure that different users in the database can open featureclasses?

Regards.

We do NOT recommend loading data as the SDE user and would create a separate DB user / schema to own the data: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/manage-postgresql/add-users-postgresql.htm

That error message "database user name and current user schema do not match" is expected, see the doc link above.

You them grant other users permissions to view and / or edit: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/manage-postgresql/privileges-postgresql.htm

Hope this helps!
