Cannot access collaborations

[DavideMolinetti]

Hi everyone!

I have a personal account i use for my own projects. I also am the administrator of my Company's ArcGIS Online account.
We are thinking about using partnered collaborations with a client, and we were thinking about testing the features and potential workflows. So i thought, why not use my personal account to setup a partenered collaboration and do some testing?
However, i am not able to add my personal account into a partnered collaboration. It just tells me it wasn't possible after parsing the url.

At this point, i tried the other way around. I noticed that where i should have the section "collaboration", under settings, on my personal account there's no section called that way! i am thinking collaborations are somehow disabled on my personal account. Could this be the case? is this the norm? i read online that personal licences are being used like this, but as always, sources are thin.

Any help? It would be much appreciated! have a nice day 🙂

Hello @DavideMolinetti, these resources might be helpful:

• Is it possible to create a distributed collaboration between ArcGIS Online organizations?
• Can ArcGIS Online organizations using a developer subscription participate in a distributed collabor...

Update: I now realized you are asking specifically about partnered collaborations, so those previous links are not good reference, this one should be: Unable to create distributed or partnered collaborations in ArcGIS Online

"Partnered and distributed collaborations are only available to subscribed ArcGIS organizations whereby members require an ArcGIS Online organizational account. ArcGIS Online developer accounts and individual accounts such as public, trial, and ArcGIS for Personal Use accounts do not support collaborations."

That's very clear! i couldn't find a clear answer somehow. Right now, we haven't deploied enterprise, even if we are planning to do so in the future. So Partnered collaboration will have to do. If i read the online guides right, distributed need at least one enterprise installation.

Thanks for helping, have a nice day!
