How to Update Portal Sharing Settings in Python

LeviCecil — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 17:19:39 GMT

I have a script that updates geocoders every month and publishes them to our enterprise portal. When this happens I have to manually change the sharing settings to "everyone" for it to be accessible in our public school finder. If I forget to to do this, I get emails saying that the app is asking users to log into the portal. Is there a way to set the sharing settings for a service in Python?

Might give this method a try arcgis.gis.Item.share when you upload it.

Should be something like youritem.share(everyone=True)

Thanks. Would my item be the service ID? I tried service name, but it won't accept a string.

... might have gotten tripped up on 'item' and what what it is according to the Docs description. If you are uploading layers, maybe the update method's item_properties parameter is where to set it.

yourItem.update(item_properties={"access" : "public"})

Revisiting this issue. I'm following the docs, but it's not working. I run these lines at the end of my script, but the service still says "The Item is not shared" in the portal.

portal = GIS("https://<ourserver>/arcgis", "user", "password") locator = portal.content.get('<itemID>') locator.update(item_properties={"access" : "public"})

Is anyone able to update these settings with Python?

I will open a support ticket on this

I have the same issue. It always sets sharing to 'private'.

@LeviCecil has there been any update on your ticket?

Thanks!

Chris

I did not end up opening a ticket, as I stopped regular updates of the locator.

Thanks for the reply @LeviCecil !

I found a work around using the "shareItems" call.

Here is my code:

#get the token from the 'gis' object token = gis._con.token #build the URL url = '{0}/sharing/rest/content/users/<userWhoOwnsItem>/shareItems?f=json&token={1}'.format(gis.url, token) #using the Python 'Requests" module, send the request to the REST API directly. updateSharing = requests.post(url, data={"items": "<id(s) go here>", "org": "true"})

I hope this helps someone!

So I'm back to updating my geolocators regularly. None of the solutions in the thread have worked for me to automate changing the item sharing settings to public. Has this been addressed with the new geocoder tools in Pro 3?

Hi Chris,

Can you explain your code a little bit? I am getting tripped up by the gis._con.token and the {0} in the url

Thanks!
