Our organization has been in arcgis online for 5 years. We have around 40 users of varying permissions. We recently started utilizing portal for arcgis. The main reason we wanted to implement this is so that we could directly edit our enterprise geodatabase data using field maps. One thing I haven't been able to figure out a good workflow for, however, is letting users who are a part of our arcgis online organization access that data in portal. In particular, I have a few water resources layers that I've published to portal that I'd like for our field crews to be able to access in arcgis online/field maps. Is there a convenient way to do this or is the intention to force all those users to have an additional portal account as well? 

I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. Any advice would be appreciated!

You can also write a custom arcpy script or use ArcGIS Model Builder or ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension or Safe Software FME Workbench or FME Sever to synchronize your data.

Hello @MDB_GIS 

Including the suggestions from @MarceloMarques. It might be worth looking at "Distributed Collaboration".

Assuming the following:

  • You would want the data to remain on Enterprise Geodatabases.
  • As it's a workflow where ArcGIS Online/field maps is used, it would be continuous workflow like it would happen often maybe daily or weekly

About distributed collaboration : https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/understand-collaborations.htm 

Additionally, it also a feasible option to just add the ArcGIS Server service URL as an item in ArcGIS Online and consume that in Field Maps (make sure all the properties are enabled which are required for Field Maps)

Add a service or document from a URL : https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/add-item-from-url.htm 

Hope it helps!
