Cannot edit branch versioned data with ArcGIS Pro Advanced

[Marco-Porcari]

Hi, I'have a strange situation about Branch versioned data, below the environment :

• ArcGIS Pro advanced licensed from ArcGIS online (creator user type)
• ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 with creator user type (and relative ArcGIS Pro basic license as the new licensing model envisages )
• Geodb enterprise on MS SQL server 2022

I have publish a branch versioned data on ArcGIS enteprise (User managged data store was registered with data owner RDBMS user), the service was shared in a group and other 2 users can access to them, all seems ok.

Users can login in Portal with yours username (creator user type) from ArcGIS Pro Advanced, users can create a version and can edit data without problems.

When the owner of services (this user have administrator user right on Portal too) try to do reconcile and post, he get an error like "Don't have sufficient rights to do this operation"

Ok , i know that for use branch versioned services in Portal i need a GIS Professional user type or a creator with "ARCGIS advanced editing" extension, but I'have an ArcGIS Pro advanced !!

Seems that when I connect to a Portal my license of ArcGIS Pro is downgraded ...

I try to get the license from portal (ArcGIS Pro basic) and in this case the system not permit to use branch versioned services dato and i cannot create a version and that is ok because ArcGIS Pro is basic edition, but with advanced ??

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thank you

Might be unrelated but we've suddenly started getting Error: Insufficient permissions [Insufficient permissions] messages when editing.  We're on 11.2 Enterprise with mainly non versioned data using ArcPro Standard, we also see Start Multiuser Editing failed. in the server logs.   Occasionally an edit will get through, but mostly we're seeing these insufficient permissions errors.  We've just had our system patched for the Chrome/Edge update issue so I wondered if that patch was to blame.  But also the upgrade to the new user types could be implicated too I guess?

Thank you Anne for your contribution, in my case that patch is not installed.

... and yes @Anne_Tetley , I also believe that the new user type model is involved in this problem, however I would like clarification from @esri  because as @geoxmas reported, in the blog article it seems clear to me that if I am using ArcGIS Pro Standard or Advanced  I should not have impacts with the introduction of this new type of User type extension.

Dear Marco,

as you can see from this blog it seems like it can be done! 

https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-enterprise/administration/arcgis-advanced-editing-u... 

As you can see from this blog post, it seems like it can be done: ArcGIS Blog. The blog was updated on 05/08/24 and clearly states that "The ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension is a license that enables advanced editing and geodatabase capabilities in ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, and the ArcGIS Maps SDKs." Additionally, it mentions that "The ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension will be included in the GIS Professional Standard and GIS Professional Advanced user types."

Given this information, it should work if you have ArcGIS Pro Standard or Advanced. I suspect this may be a bug.

Perhaps only @Esri can provide a definitive answer to this issue.

Best regards

We just upgraded to 11.3 and have the same issue with user type permissions. has anyone received any support from ESRI? We don't provision any licenses through Enterprise Portal it is all done in ArcGIS online.  At 10.9.1 branch version editing worked.  I don't even have Pro basic available in Portal as I did not enable them in the 11.3 license file.  I started a case with them and ESRI support said the best way is to transfer the AGOL licenses to Portal.  That seems unacceptable to me.

[Anne_Tetley]

Our issue did turn out to be related to a versioning patch that was applied along with the chromium patching.  The patch was removed and editing went back to normal.  ESRI support are looking into it for us.

We just upgraded to 11.3 and are running into the same issue. We use concurrent advanced licenses. Did you resolve your issue?

Hi, the our problem seems releted to User type on AGOL : in our case we have a creator user type with an add-on license for ArcGIS Pro advanced and based on the new licensing model this combination not include "Advanced editing user type extension" that  it's needed on ArcGIS Enterprise for use Branch verioned editing.  The solution can be convert  creator user type with an add-on license for ArcGIS Pro advanced to GIS Professiona user type : this operation can be done without cost by asking to esri.  Other solution can be to trasfer ArcGIS Pro advanced AGOL license to ArcGIS Enterprise named user an the you can have "Advanced editing user type extension" included.  For us the best solution is the firsdt one. I hope this can be helpful.
