As the title states, it would be beneficial to include layer sharing information in the Item Overview Layers section for a web map.  There are times when my clients see the dreaded "Sign In to ArcGIS Online" popup when I have a publicly shared map.  My maps rely on layers that are managed inside my AGOL org and outside of my org, and if one of those layers is not shared to the public, for any reason like it goes down or something, its a game of "check each layer to see which one has been unshared" in order to remedy the prompt.  Yes there are data management issues to address is layers are getting unshared, but the manager of a web map may be independent of the manager of a layer, and quickly seeing the sharing of each layer in the item overview layers section would save me the effort of troubleshooting my map.  Even it it was just a badge for public layers or available to owners or admins, that would suffice, but having access to quickly review sharing of web map layers would be a valuable addition.  Of course I would like to see this built into both the web map item overview layers section AND the information section from within map viewer.  Thank you.
