Hej Community
Our organization is new to the uses to classification schema to label data and services in ArcGIS Enterprise. While this ensures that individual items are correctly marked, challenges arise when multiple services with different classification levels are combined into a single web map or app.
Currently, web maps do not automatically reflect the highest classification level of the services they contain. This creates a risk that users may share or interpret a map as having a lower classification than it should, potentially exposing sensitive data.
I would therefore suggest. When a web map or application is created in ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, its classification level should automatically update to match the highest classification level of any included service or dataset. Introduce a prioritization parameter in the ArcGIS Enterprise item JSON template. This parameter would:
Define the relative priority of each classification level (e.g., Restricted > Confidential > Internal > Public).
Allow the Portal to automatically evaluate all layers within a web map or app.
Update the classification of the composite item to the highest-priority classification.
Example:
When combining services:
Service A: Public (priority 1)
Service B: Confidential (priority 3)
Resulting Web Map: Confidential (priority 3)
The benefis of this would ensures consistent and accurate classification across all composite items and reduces the risk of accidental exposure of sensitive information.
