Hello Jonathan,
It has been my experience with branch versioned services that if you need to alter the security, you have to stop the services and restart them. If this doesn't work, you may have to delete the services and republish them.
Hi Jonathan,
The access level of default needs to be altered through a database connection connected as the geodatabase administrator (typically either sde or dbo).
Hope this helps!

Hi!
I did exactly this: ''The access level of default needs to be altered through a database connection connected as the geodatabase administrator (typically either sde or dbo)'', however after publishing the service it has ''gone back'' to public! I did press save. I feel like loosing my mind, what could be wrong?
Did you publish a new service? Or replace the old one? You may need to try to publish a brand new service with a new name.
Hello!
If the DEFAULT version somehow reverted back to public, that could be a bug. However, when altering the DEFAULT version for branch versioning, as previously stated, you need to do this through the database connection. More specifically however, you need to make sure the database connection is using a branch versioning connection (Geodatabase Connection Properties > Branch).
You should not be required to re-publish or restart your service.
Hope this helps!
Justin
