Map Gallery in (private, right?) AGOL for Orgs only works when all maps are public ??

[DonBarker]

After creating a Group in AGOL for Orgs, I create a gallery by clicking Share > Make Gallery App > Publish.

But no maps appear unless I make all the maps public.

Can't have a gallery for group members in a private group? 

If I can, then how?

Thanks,

Yes, the maps have to be public. The application doesn't have any built-in way to authenticate users. It's a good idea, but just not implemented. You could probably download and customize the app, and deploy it to your own web server.

Thanks,

Yes, looks like that's where we're headed. 

Any tips on where to customize the JS config files?  But I expect that authentication is buried deeper into the ArcGIS Javascript API...

I was seeing an empty gallery.

We're working in AGOL for Orgs:  maryland.maps.arcgis.com

I can email you a guest user login/password if you need it to debug.

Thanks for working this.

I deleted my previous post because it was wrong...

The answer currently is that the web maps must be public to use one of the gallery templates and publish it to ArcGIS Online. However, with a bit of programming, you should be able to download the template application and modify it. You will need to explicitly add a sign in option to the gallery application, then you should see the web maps shared with the group.

Here's a sample that shows a sign in option.

We do plan to enhance the gallery template to be able to sign in. Hopefully before the end of the year.

hope this helps,
