Attempting to make Distributed Collaboration in ArcGIS Enterprise, Other organization (Small Nation Government) has Enterprise hosted by ESRI

Question

I am trying to invite an organization to a distributed collaboration. The other organization is a small nations government. Their ArcGIS Enterprise Portal is currently being hosted by ESRI, and has maps.arcgis.com/ in the URL. When I try to invite them, the distributed collaboration thinks that it is a ArcGIS Online URL and rejects it. Any ideas on how to bypass this?

I was going to say, sounds like you have to treat this like a Portal - Online collaboration and not as a Portal to Portal collaboration

Hi @CodyC

Yes, not something I'm familiar with either. 
I will try having the them set up the Collaboration, that seems like a great idea.

Hey @Alec

The URL is definitely reminiscent of an AGOL URL, being hosted by ESRI is something I'm not entirely familiar with, but I'm curious if they are able to host the distributed collaboration and if they are getting the same error.
